Got to watch the practice on Thursday - two passes, one at 1000ft and a lower one around 300. Most impressive to see it buzzing the sky scrapers! Attached is a snip of a video I took.

Yeah it’s great for the city to get buzzed officially gets the adrenaline pumping while waiting for it to get dark.

Looking forward to the fireworks, (controlled) crowds are gathering already and the river has been closed to general traffic.

Not quite the F-111 dump and burn of years gone by but impressive flying never the less.
