Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

"Yankee Lady" is out due to hangar door collapse. The plane is fine but a temporary wall was built that doesn't allow for egress of the aircraft. The new hangar door won't be complete in time for the event.

The UH-1 Huey will still be present for rides.

F-35C team mentioned above was what we were waiting on.

We have not received an update on the Osprey.

Re: Helicopter demos at US airshows?

I also saw something similar with a Loach, Hueys, Cobras, a Skyraider, Twin Otter, Beaver, O-2 and others at Battle Creek in the mid-90s, but I don't remember the name of the group. Would be cool (and costly) if something like that could be revived. 69th Battallion. Couldn't tell you when they stop...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

Can you do something about the weather? :lol: Every year it seems to rain. We had beautiful weather last year! Glad to see "Yankee Lady" back. When the weather is good, this is one of my favorite events. Let's hope it cooperates again! The Huey will be coming from Yankee officially now to...

The US Army Golden Knights will also be performing. More to...
