Does anyone know why the Growlers don't take off in burner? They did the same at Oshkosh.

Good question, I noticed that too. Growlers stole the show.

This show continues to be one of my favorites. Always a good time, and military participation makes it that much better. Absolutely. From a venue perspective one of the better spaces. I don't think I saw Growlers as close up taxiing as I did - or all planes. Even the flying box very close to the cr...

I reached out to the admin for their FB page and no Fri practice.

Cleveland was very fortunate to have it. Last time I saw the AV-8B was Chicago 2017.

That would suck!

Isn't the EA-18G Growler Demo usually 2 ships?

I'm sure it's going to be similar to Dayton where the F-15s did multiple flybys for a good amount of time.

Also, does anyone know if the F-22 will do flare dumps over the lake?

I've never been to this show and may attend - mainly because of the rarity of seeing a Harrier demo - and the F-22 being there helps!

Do the acts perform right over Burke Lakefront Airport or is the aerobatic box extended further over the lake and hence the acts?

Bummer about no flares. I was going to drive up tomorrow if they were going to use them. Is it. Don't know why they skipped Chicago, unless there was resistance by the local government to permit it. Wouldn't be surprised since they are so woke and may think the flares can be a danger to the city at...

Checked out the practice. The F-16 Viper team flew in a backup jet. The real Viper appears this weekend. I also asked if there was a chance for flare dumps and he said no. Bummer. They did flares before this show and will do 3 more after. Chi would have been perfect with the lake...
