Excellent set of images for a first-timer or even a pro. Can't wait to see images from your next airshow.

Funny that you say that...the inverted plane is #5, the lead solo, who happens to be...

Where was this air show? Since both aircraft are USAF (F-16 & F-35) I assume it was at an Air Force Base. Maybe Nellis AFB?

Nope, Alliance airport in north Ft. Worth Tx. It's a yearly thing, alternating Thunderbirds/Blue Angels as the main attraction. It also included an A-10, P51, C17 and some aerobatic performances. This year it was a "drive-in show", you bought the ticket per carload, got two parking spaces in order to social distance, and no static displays etc. Turned out very well I thought!
