Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2022
I too wondered about this as this will be my first year attending. I have been told this can be a frustrating show as a lot of the flyovers don't cover the same flight path so they can often be pretty far away. Not sure if the larger show box would change that. In looking at Ryan's videos it appears...

Re: Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show 2021
Being that they had a year to prepare for a variety of circumstances related to COVID, I wish Oceana would have shown some imagination and done the same. They aren't in nearly as bad of a place in terms of COVID as Florida yet they took the easy route and chose just to cancel. Sorry, I am still bitt...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2021
I am not trying to be pessimistic, but I would be shocked if this show happens at this point. Langley just announced the are moving back to HPCON Bravo. Not sure if Oceana did the same, but I know they are back requiring masks on base regardless of vaccination status. As the previous post mentioned,...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021
Thanks for the quick response! I just Google mapped it and I see where you are referencing. It looks like there are some spots along that portion of the service road where you can pull off in the grass. I guess I will just do that or look for others as I am sure I won't be the only one. I do wonder ...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021
I am planning on coming out on Friday to try to view the practice offsite before I go to the show on Saturday. I reviewed the previous pages and it sounds like spotting can be a bit iffy on practice days. The consensus I got was that on the Ecorse Service Road you will likely be chased away and that...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2021
BIG NEWS posted on the Oceana Airshow website today....Sounds like it could be an old school type Oceana lineup with lots of jet noise! Really glad they didn't overreact and jump the gun in cancelling early like Miramar did. "The 2021 NAS Oceana Air Show is scheduled for 18-19 September and we’...

Re: 2021 U.S Navy Demonstration Teams Schedule
LOL.. That would be him and Cleveland was one of the shows I was referring to. Thanks for backing me up on this although I assumed I wasn't the only one to witness this since the airshow community is a closely knit bunch. You also hit the nail on the head. They might not be doing demos this year, bu...

Re: 2021 U.S Navy Demonstration Teams Schedule
VFA-106 performed a practice demo at Oceana just last week. At a minimum they are at least continuing proficiency flights in the event their schedule is ever approved and truthfully who knows if that is going to happen being that we are almost into June at this point. The guy that commented on 106 n...

Re: Westmoreland County Air Show 2021
If you made me guess, I'd bet they simply move show center a few thousand feet to the right down 6/24. As Ryan mentioned, I don't see them flying the show parallel to the old runway as it would take them directly over the terminal and close to the tower. For anybody coming for practice I wouldn't su...
