Re: 2024 New Orleans Air Show

Really good show all round. Solid lineup of performers and statics, wind was pretty crazy though. And not often you get to see seven different Blue Angels aircraft performing in the demo.

Re: 2024 New Orleans Air Show

VFA-125 are currently detached there and are supposed to be doing a flight demo at the show, per an FB post 2 days ago.

Re: Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2023

I was curious how this show was going to turn out with the removal from the lineup of some many flying acts and statics in the recent weeks, and post show there seems to be a lot of negative feedback on their facebook page. I don't think it was the worst airshow ever - but that's from my perspective...

Re: Cleveland National Air Show 2023

Attended the show on the Sunday. Harrier and seeing the Raptor flare dump again definitely the highlights for me. Disappointed I didn't get to see the F-15s as their low-passes were pretty awesome to see at last years show, but overall pretty decent show as always. Thought the Pittsburgh C-17 looked...

Re: Wings Over Batavia 2023

Went to this on the Saturday evening, didn't stay for the whole show unfortunately (left as it got dark) as I was driving up to Cleveland afterwards. Thought it was really good, and can't beat the evening lighting. Saw some of the aerial fireworks displays from I-90 both as I was leaving and as I ca...

Re: Gowen Thunder Open House & Air Show 2023

Made the trip out west for this show, mainly for a chance to see the A-10s, but it was also good to see some other west coast squadrons, as well as aircraft like the Dragonfly and Alpha Jet performing. Thought the show was really good, and a nice mixture of statics. Cool to see a couple of tanks bei...

Re: Wings Over Batavia 2023

The F-22 Raptor Demo Team will be taking part in the Heritage Flight only. https://www.acc.af.mil/Home/Aerial-Events/Heritage-Flight/ACC-Consolidated-schedule/ This confuses me. How can the Raptor team participate in a HF in New York if they are scheduled to be in Cleveland? Batavia is an afternoon...

Re: Wings Over Wayne 2023

Bit of a rough start to the day between the traffic (despite being early), and, having spent a little while wandering around the statics, trying to find a good spot once the relatively small crowd line had filled in. Raptor demo was great between the vapor and the flares, first time seeing the Skyra...

Re: Wings Over Wayne 2023

First off getting in to this show via the Oak Forest Gate was a total nightmare, took over an hour to get into the base and get parked after the gates supposedly opened and I wasn't even that far back in the queue of cars, once I was parked however in the yellow area getting in was really straightf...

Re: JB MDL Power in the Pines Air & Space Open House 2023

Headed up to McGuire for the Sunday show after doing Wings over Wayne on Saturday. Good to see the heavies, especially the KC-10 as that mission winds down. F-16 demo with the flares was cool, not quite as exciting to photograph as the Raptor demo flare display, but good to get to see nonetheless. K...
