Re: Glenview Naval Air Station Videos

Am I correct that your father's first name was Tom and his car license plate was "ARDVARK? There was a group of photographers that frequented the North end of the runway; unofficially referred to as the "runway rats." Those were good years. I worked a few miles away in Skokie and spen...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion Salute To Veterans

Thanks Ryan. I think it unlikely that one could "roam" the ramp but there are adjacent areas that may be accessed. I've been to the show several times in the past; it's usually pretty casual. Two years ago, however, the Thousands insisted on moving the crowd line (twice in a relatively sho...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion Salute To Veterans

I thought more aircraft would be arriving on Thursday.

That said, what locations are available for photographers now? I'm thinking about visiting tomorrow (in addition to Saturday).

Can't wait to see the PBY!

Re: SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo 2021

So what significant COVID protocols did you encounter? Is it possible to social distance at an airshow? EAA has alluded to a number of strategies for AirVenture (e.g., multiple show lines, additional facilities for washing/sanitation, etc.). I'm also guessing they expect most members to have been va...

Re: Quad City Airshow 2019

Bearing in mind what Nate said earlier, there seems to be a disconnect between the aircraft identified as performers, in one section of the web site, and the (tentative) schedule. The schedule has no mention of the C17, the P38, Leapfrogs, or other performers. Any idea which is accurate? I agree tha...

Re: Yuma Airshow 2019

I am still at the PHX airport waiting for my delayed SWA flight home (after spending the day in Tucson at the Pima Air & Space Museum). Needless to say, I haven't gone through my photos yet. However, I would add the following (and in the same format): Good Good flow doesn't quite describe the su...

Re: Yuma Airshow 2019

The website indicates backpacks are not permitted; furthermore, it appears that you are allowed to bring the following (and I quote): One large clear bag per person is allowed. - Either a one-gallon Ziploc style bag, or commercially purchased clear bag – plus a small clutch for personal items. - The...
