High winds prevented the U.S. Army Black Daggers from opening the first day of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base’s two-day Wings Over Wayne Air Show, but the parachute demonstration team’s misfortune gave a victory to the home team, as four 4th Fighter Wing F-15E Strike Eagles ripped through the skies to kick things off, instead.
There is still plenty of action — including a performance by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds — to come Saturday afternoon, and Sunday’s sequel is expected to thrill the thousands expected to attend, too.
