So no F-35B at MCAS Cherry Point?

F-16 demo and F-100 staged from Indy Int'l. Why couldn't they stage the F-16 and F-100 right there? Runway is too short at Indy Regional. The F-16 requires at least 7,000 feet. F-100 likes a longer runway too Interesting. F-18 no problem and thought the F-16 would need less runway than the F-18.

I took a look on the way back from the Waco fly-in last weekend and there didn't seem to be any likely places. There ...

To me the biggest thing is how the Fleet Air Power Demo has deteriorated over the years. It used to be so interesting not just with the variety of the demo, but also the aggressiveness of the passes. Yeah - just watching it on live stream it seemed pretty weak. The only time I was there in '04 whic...

Caught some of the live stream. Great show. I went to Oceana in '04 when the air power demo consisted of Tomcats and Hornets. Have F-35s not been deployed to that base yet?
