That would be a bummer if they're not going to be there because of what happened last week. I personally wouldn't have an issue with it if they weren't at Oceana if the Polaris Dawn mission was scheduled to launch in September.

What is a CAPES demo? That’s what they have listed for the F-15Cs, but I’ve never heard of it before and can’t find any info on it. They originally had it listed as a "capabilities demonstration," so probably a short form of that, though I'm quite ignorant to DOD acronyms so that's just a...

So it was just me at the AMC Museum today. Got to see a lot, including what I was told were three C-5M demos. It's pretty impressive. Saw some of the static display aircraft come in... two C-130s (one from New Castle and a J-model from god knows where, heard someone say Dyess, but it had ZERO markin...

Anybody know if they will post the Times for each act ? Specifically for the F15s ? I'm bringing my 80 year old Dad, Airshows are getting tougher for him, we want to try and time our arrival, close the F15s. Thanks ! According to our host, the base didn't want to post exact times and no reason was ...

I still don't get that break in the middle of August.

But on a lighter note, we might be adding another trip to see them. Haven't decided on where just yet.

I've stated elsewhere that the twin-engine fighters that first flew in the 1960s and 1970s are among my favorites. Well, so is the F-16. I loved this paint scheme on the YF-16 when I first saw it as a child and to see it today really takes me back. This is amazing. https://www.twz.com/air/viper-demo...

The potential problem is certain staff manning the security check make their own "rules" on the size of the lenses allowed even though the official website doesn't say a word about lens sizes. It has happened at various bases, it has happened to my at Andrews, the latest example is Cherry...

So there's been a few joint shows since the Blue Angels switched to the Rhino. I've only been to one (Dover). For argument's sake, I'll also include when they were both at Andrews in 2019 since I was there for that one. At Andrews in 2019, had it not rained on Sunday the two teams would have rotated...

Any chance the f15 or 35 pops flares? I highly doubt it. There was an incident during the 2017 airshow where a C-5M shot off over 100 flares on Sunday's airshow. According to the comments in the most famous video of this that's online, it was unauthorized and some people got in trouble. It was grea...

"Doc" has arrived safely according to a text I received. Do you know if the authorities have a position on the size of lenses allowed? Their website doesn't say anything but sometimes the staff manning the security check make their own rules. It happens many times at those shows on bases. ...
