Thanks Weasel_Keeper and oldgrognard.
WK, it would have been nice to at least have an A-10 on display. I was thinking how disappointed I was not to see an F-35 (as advertised) or an F-22, but then I'm an 80's man so I should just be happy to see Legacy Hornets still performing (Hornet A's since 1986, C's since 2010).
OG, in all seriousness, I had no idea where the smoke actually came from...

"A variety of changes, mostly internal, would need to be made to the Supers before they would be suitable for duty with the Blue Angels: First, the gun would need to be removed and replaced with both the reservoir and various tubes and pipes for the smoke system, which also has a pump near the tail to actually dispense the liquid into the hot exhaust to produce the smoke."
