In general, Bert is a Saturday only performer. I wish shows did a better job advertising that. But yeah, it has flown at every show I've seen them at since they went to the C-130J.

Re: Cavanaugh Flight Museum to Permanently Close

According to Facebook comments, the airport at Addison refused to renew their lease as they want the real estate for more aircraft hangars. According to the website, the aircraft are being moved to North Texas Regional Airport (formerly Perrin AFS) in Sherman, TX. It looks like they plan to reopen t...

August 21 - Norfolk, VA

It will be interesting to see what that event is.
That's a Wednesday. Doubt that will be a public event. Perhaps they meant NAS Oceana, September 21, but I don't think so. Mystery for now.

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

Has anyone on the forum attended a show at Charleston before? Charleston has been on my list of places to visit for a while now, and what better excuse than an air show, but I'm wondering how they manage to work the show at a joint civil/military facility amid what appears to be a fairly busy airli...

Re: 2024 NAS Oceana Air Show

Polaris Program Added!!! I can’t believe that. Haven’t been since 2016. Honestly, been wanting to go to this show for a while, but a combination of personal matters, covid, and a frankly mediocre lineup over the last few shows especially has kept me away. They needed a huge act like this to bring i...

Re: New Blue Angels Documentary to release in 2023

Looked a couple of weeks ago and just checked again, but no update since the announcement. I’d imagine it’s still going to exist, but given the lack of promo at this point, I think it’s a safe bet it won’t come out this year. I’ve updated the thread title.
