BRUNSWICK - Cloudy skies and the threat of wet weather linked to Tropical Storm Hanna held down the turnout today at the last Great State of Maine Air Show at the Brunswick Naval Air Station.

Despite conditions, tens of thousands showed up at the base in hopes of watching the Navy's Blue Angels precision flying team and other thrilling aerial performances.

But limited ceiling and visibility prompted the Blue Angels to ground their F-18 fighter jets for safety reasons. The Army's Golden Knights parachute team also cancelled its Saturday performance.

Civilian attractions that did go on included smoke-emitting stunt aircraft, and a fire-breathing, car-crushing metal dinosaur called the Megasaurus that stands three-stories tall.

The show, which continues on Sunday, generally draws more than 100,000 spectators per day. Sunday's forecast called for improving conditions, with drier air and more sunshine as the day goes on.

Base spokesman Jon James said the Blue Angels expected to be able to take to the air on Sunday.
