Re: Milwaukee Air & Water Show 2023

So...Lol... as expected--- granted it was practice, many of the acts were not there. No F35s No Bombers No Hawkeye No Chinook No space shuttle No Heritage I didn't see the P8 (did see it take off from airport) or Navy helos What makes me frustrated, is that more than likely, they know at least 3 wee...

Re: Milwaukee Air & Water Show 2023

Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical of the 3 bombers to say the least. Every year Milwaukee has a B2 flyby pending that never happens and this year they expect people to buy that they've got a B-52, B-1, and B-2 (TBD). :roll: If by some miracle it happens, it would be awesome. I am looking forward to seeing...

Re: Milwaukee Air & Water Show 2023

I'm anticipating in the next few days--- all those TBD aircraft will be canceled due to "real world situations out of our control"--- especially with most of the vip tickets sold out. LOL

Re: Milwaukee Air & Water Show 2022

So--- I would park at Columbia St. Marys--- it's usually like 10 bucks. I woukd them walk down along the water tower to the beach. That area is free, and imo, the best spot. The VIP stuff is just south of center. On this map--- the red is where the operations/air boss are located. The blueish box is...

Re: Milwaukee Air & Water Show 2022

Honestly, Bradford Beach is the best spot. In fact, it's center point. If you look directly behind, you will see the water tower which is generally center point. The beach just north of Bradford is good too as the box lines up nicely. On Friday, you shoukd be able to park on the street.

Re: Milwaukee Air & Water Show 2022

Unfortunately, Milwaukee is classic for this. They list a bunch of acts, sell tickets, then say half the acts can't come.

Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2021

Any of the fast jets require a box dimensioned 12000 feet x 3000 feet to be completely sterilized of people in order to perform aerobatic maneuvers. This is the same for the single-ship demos, Blue Angels/Thunderbirds/Snowbirds, and even vintage jets like Randy Ball in the MiG-17. In order to accom...

Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2021

They have to do some unusual - and extremely annoying - things to get an aerobatic box big enough for a jet team and the practice time constraints of the team screw up a lot of other flying during the week. I am glad to not have jet teams there! I'm not too privvy on the aerobatic box thing. Why su...
