Re: Warbirds Over Monroe Air Show

Amazing show as always. It seems to be growing in popularity too, which is great to see. W7 didn't make it, but Matt Younkin surprised us with a performance instead. One of the few shows I've been to where the weather was too good. The winds were so dead that the smoke never cleared the field.

Re: B-17 Crash In Connecticut

Here's something heartbreaking and a little touching. If you haven't heard of VASaviation, they upload captioned videos of real ATC audio from airports. The videos usually involve near misses and arguements, but occasionally they will get the ATC from an airport during a crash. They previously did v...

Re: Randy Ball FIGHTERJETS 2020 Schedule

I’d be interested to learn what “MiG-17F/F-4” means for Houston, can’t imagine it means a Phantom will be flying. I’ll keep an eye on it. The Collings Foundation F-4 is based in Houston That’s quite an announcement if that’s what it refers to. Hard to be optimistic with all the trouble they’ve had ...

Matt Chapman Retiring from Air Shows

This piece of news slipped my radar, but evidently Matt made the announcement earlier this year at the Battle Creek Air Show. 2019 will be his last year performing aerobatics at air shows after a 37 year career. Julie Clark is also retiring this year after 42 years of air shows. Matt's last three ai...

Re: NAS Lemoore Central Valley Air Show 2019

Evidently, a good portion of the attendees were stranded on the highway for several hours and ultimately were turned away due to traffic issues. Ticket holders are requesting refunds. Not the strongest comeback. https://amp-visaliatimesdelta-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.visaliatimesdelta.com/amp/2...
