The missing man formation in the distance. The "missing man" is climbing well above the formation in this shot.

 

And that about wraps up the coverage of this event in photos.

Bill- Thank you for sharing these and continuing to work the issue. Ironically one of my FB friends photographed the same missing formation from over the the AF memorial, probably not realizing they were flying to honor the event.
