Re: First State Airshow 2024

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 ...

Re: Frecce Tricolori North American Tour 2024

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.

Re: 2024 USAF F-16 Fighting Falcon Demo Schedule

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...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

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...

Re: 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show

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...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

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...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

"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. ...

Re: 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show

I'm not finding anything showing the Thunderbirds as part of this show. They're in Ft. Worth that weekend according to their schedule. Nothing on the airshow site about it. It appears that the rumor started because some social media pundit at NAS ran a poorly chosen photo from the COVID lockdown fl...

Re: 2024 World War II Weekend

I feel bad for everyone who already bought tickets and are going just for the airplane side of things.

There's two or three aircraft that I'm surprised aren't on the roster considering they're kept in the Northeast. Heck, I hadn't seem them at all last year...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Anyone have an idea what day the schedule and map will come out for the show? According to our host, he said no later than Wednesday for both; but it could be earlier. I've seen quite a few "We're tying up loose ends" responses regarding the schedule from Schultz Airshows, which I get bec...
