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...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
Final public USMC Harrier demo. Gotta get this up before the good videos come out. At the very end of this video, a cloud passes over and casts a shadow on the jet, in a way symbolizing the sundown of the Harrier. Crazy timing. https://youtu.be/3EEvJ1FOOok And a pic of the Blue Angels from my house...

Re: 2024 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach Park
You would never make it if you left at 8 am. I've seen traffic on the Belt Parkway back up on a Saturday or Sunday morning before 8 am.krunchyfrogg wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 8:41 pm boy am I glad I saw this. I was going to leave my house (central NJ) at 8:00. I’ll make it 6:30 now.

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
I am so sorry to hear about this. I would have been angry too. This happened to me at Andrews 5/6 years ago, the lady in uniformed at the security check said my Sigma 150-600 was too big, even though nowhere on their website said anything about the lens size limit. I told her that but she just didn...
