Featured were 40 international tall ships plus an aerial review by the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels, and an international naval review. The nine aircraft steaming red white and blue smoke belonged to the Red Arrows of the Royal Air Force (RAF) aerobatic team. Some observers wondered why our USAF wasn't doing the honors. The word was that their aircraft are equipped for air show displays to only stream white smoke.
