Re: Refinished Blue Angels F-11F Tiger on display at Millington-Memphis Airport

I went by there about 6 weeks ago and wondered where the plane had gone too.

Re: 2018 EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh

Per the Airventure site, Tom Reilly's XP-82 Twin Mustang could debut at Oshkosh! The aircraft is in its final stages of restoration. That would be an incredible addition to the show! Also saw on the Airventure site that a Boeing E-4 will be performing fly-bys. There isn't a ton I get overly excited...

Re: Gathering of B-17s 2018 - Urbana/Dayton, OH

Looks like bad weather will prevent the bombers from landing at the museum today but they're hoping to do flyovers and land when weather allows. Hopefully the event can go smoothly! My understanding is the concern was of standing water on the runway causing the planes not being able to depart Frida...

Re: Five-Ship USAF Heritage Flight Formation!!

When I went to Warbirds Downunder 2013 in Temora, Australia they flew a 6-ship Heritage flight - 2 Spitfires, CAC Mustang, Gloster Meteor, CAC Sabre and a F-18 Hornet. It was a windy day so they were bouncing around and the Meteor had a hard in the turns being the inside plane almost stalling. https...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2018

I'm thinking about going to this, but it would have to be a day trip for me so I'm looking for some feedback on layout, places to watch from, etc. From the maps posted online, it appears the closest viewing area to the airshow box is on the north side of the river at Ashland Park. Is that accurate?...

Re: How Many Airshows Are You Attending In 2018?

Monroe is so late in the year they don't make many early announcements. The show is almost always on the weekend of Veterans Day. The Sky Soldiers have Monroe on their schedule for Nov 10-11, 2018. https://armyav.org/

Re: Gathering of B-17s 2018 - Urbana/Dayton, OH

I split these posts out of the Dayton airshow thread because it is a separate event that deserves a thread of its own! I was hoping to attend, but Monday and Tuesday are a pretty awkward time to be hanging out at the airport. I'm hoping there might be some sort of action the Sunday before? Call me ...
