If you are an aviation/air shows fan do check out airventure Live streams. Especially the air shows. Their camera people do a superb job. For 1st time UK’s Red Arrows will be performing. 🤩 Thousands of planes fly in(10,000+). Over 2500 show planes, etc. I believe big influx of arrivals is on Sat. 18
