Milwaukee air show

[RyanS]

So they have updated ththe perfomers for this weekend. Gotta admit, Im not to happy that up until yesterday, the show insisted that certain acts were coming. They have removed the f18 (which we all knew in May), the a10s, and the t38 talons today. Gotta admit im not thrilled that this happens on a yearly basis with this show...seems like they post acts to sell tix, then remove.

Thanks for the update, I agree that it's shady for them to keep mentioning the Super Hornets. I know the show also stole several of my photos. Hard to give them any benefit of the doubt at this point.

I was considering swinging by to watch practice on Friday but no need to any more. That's a big relief on my plans actually!

At this point, im extremely skeptical about the f15 and a10. And thats lame about the photos---att he very least, one should call and ask if they can use

Same here. We've seen some good shows at Milwaukee in the past but they do seem to fluff up their lineups quite a bit sometimes.

Wonder of wonders, the Mud Hen made it! I parked by Bradford Beach around noon while it was still raining a little and waited in my car for a while. The Strike Eagle made quite a few passes down the lakeshore, followed by Wild Blue, then one of the local KC-135s. However, listening in to the Air Boss, the tanker was told that he'd be the last act of the day, so he could take his time - looks like they released the TFR early due to incoming weather.

I found the Air Boss frequency at 118.2 for those of you packing your scanners.

I'm quite shocked the SE made it too!

Great to hear the Strike Eagle made it. The weather doesn't look too promising for the weekend but we decided Sunday appears to be the best option right now.

Yep, I'm planning to hit Janesville tomorrow for the warbirds and then hit the MKE show on Sunday. Not going to hold my breath for much, but just being able to see a Strike Eagle again made me happy.

crappy photo - wasn't going for 'good', just proof that the Dark Grey made it

Yeah, I think the last time I saw a SE was at Rockford Airfest. Man, I miss that show.

I was shocked to see the f15. I heard the a10 is here too. I got down just in time for the f15, then the show was canceled. Well see weather wise for the weekend...this show and fog do not get along!

[Star8383]

Show has been rocked by rain. Does anyone know if the tbirds change their show points on wind patterns? They were futher out then they usually are i e. The sneak pass was pretty far out in front of the crowd whereas in the past its been over the crowd on the beach .
