It was a soggy start for this year's Stuart Air Show but that didn't stop hundreds of people from coming out.

Spectators had the chance to see dozens of types of aircraft at Stuart's Witham Field on Saturday.

The event featured freestyle motocross, BMX, and a heritage flight.

Douglas Davis, a board member and volunteer for the last 17 years, said, “We have all four of the air combat demo teams from the Air Force which includes the A-10 WartHog, F-16 Falcon which is Team Viper and the F-22 Raptor along with the F-35 Lightning II.”

Officials with the Stuart Air Show say the show will continue on Sunday, despite the approach of Tropical Storm Eta. They say planes will continue to fly as long as it is safe to do so.
