On the local TV coverage I only saw 16 aircraft. They also said the weather prevented the lost man routine.

I thought all 21 would fly in formation. 4 jets at a time didn’t seem that special to me.

In sequence:

1 plane

4 planes

4 planes

4 planes

4 planes

a slight time gap

LAST 4 planes, with MISSING MAN maneuver done in the last group.

It was ALL shown on the channel I was watching ABC.

Foe once, the ‘anchors kept their mouths shut & didn’t overtalk the ceremonies.
