Re: Guardians Of Freedom Airshow

Bummer that the F-5s didn't make it, but the Fagen Fighters F6F Hellcat was pretty cool to see flying. Had no idea they were attending.

Re: Garmin KC Air Show 2022

The F-35A Lightning II Demo Team wasn’t what I was referring to. I was referring to the F-35 that was slated to perform a series of flybys as well as take part in the static display. Here’s a post on the show’s Facebook page from July 14th. https://www.facebook.com/KCAirShow/posts/pfbid025ASd9Ddary...

Re: Chicago Air & Water Show 2022

It rained hard for about 20 minutes and brought on a 90 minute rain delay. No individual aerobatics. No Navy legacy flight but the F-35C was fun. F-22 and P-51 heritage flight but no Raptor demo. Osprey and A-10s did their thing, as did Triple Time. No C-17, KC-135 ( aborted a flat pass because of v...

Re: Chicago Air & Water Show 2022

I packed for this trip planning on a wet show and it looks like today's forecast has cleared up a lot, so... great. I'll be at Castaways with my gear.

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

TOM is 400 dollars for a day, but Selfridge on the other side of town was free and Battle Creek 1.5 hours away was 13 dollars a day. Some shows will always be free (military base mandate) so you will always have this price disparity and competition within the industry. Traverse City was free and I ...

Re: Selfridge Air National Guard Base Open House and Airshow 2022

Lackluster show, almost feel asleep. Some amazingly long gaps with nothing in the air, at one point a stranded golf cart by the runway seemed to have held up the show for half an hour, then they were in search of some black bucket. Anyone know if the F-15 ever showed up ? There was one from Mountai...
