I read about this yesterday, and was fascinated by it; yet, don't want to fight traffic and parking (or Metro) to go downtown. I think FLMs (farts like me) will get something, albeit not as much, out of this mega-cool flyover if they position themselves near the Potomac River on the flight path near the American Legion Bridge (or slightly north, or slightly south). The formations probably won't be set up (and they certainly won't be executed), but you can probably get a pretty good view of the planes. However, some of the planes are leaving from Culpeper Airport (the others from Manassas), and I'm not sure if those will be heading south down the Potomac River flight path.
