Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
Today's tickets are being honored tomorrow. Hopefully, things will go better. I will probably dip after the Harrier as I got really great MAGTF and Blue Angel videos today. Also, I didn't realize this, but the MQ-9 is actually a Marine Corps asset from VMUT-2. Didn't know the Marines had those. Rapt...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
First things first, traffic was insane. I think people without CACs were attempting to enter via SLOCUM gate and it messed everything up. I never got checked for one. I live 7 minutes away from base, and it took me over two hours to get parked. I left a little later than I probably should have (10 a...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
MAGTF today consisted of the following (the show may differ): 1x F-35B Lightning 1x AV-8B Harrier 2x F/A-18 Legacy Hornets 1x AH-1Z Viper 1x UH-1Y Venom C-130J refueling pass with AV-8B + 2x F/A-18 I imagine the CH-53s will still participate tomorrow as planned. The Hornets did some really high spee...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
Anyone know if the F-18 preforming in the MAGTF demo will be a legacy hornet? Also on the cherry point instagram they didn’t mention a AH-1Z or a UH-1Y helicopter preforming in the demo. Anyone know why this is? I thought those where staples in the demo! Either way cant wait to see the show! F-18 w...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
Saw the harrier do a practice demo this morning. The sequence opened with an additional high speed pass from behind the crowd. Not much, but at least it's a little more than a normal demo.

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
New seating option SATURDAY ONLY. Front row seats at far crowd right in the red area on the map for $30. Solid option for those still considering. https://event.attendstar.com/event/show/mcas-cherry-point-air-show-2024/?c=IKHBQD&utm_medium=web&utm_source=event_website&utm_campaign=mcas_c...

Re: US Buys Soviet-Era Aircraft From Kazakhstan
Sadly another story that the media may have gotten wrong. I still hope it's true.

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
Thanks! I got my vehicle pass for both days. Now I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting bleacher seats for Sunday, with the option of not using them if they aren't any better than just general admission. My opinion on bleachers in general is they are a good option. As a man on the shorter side,...
