Re: 2024 World War II Weekend

Unfortunately, it looks like B-17 Yankee Lady won't be making it to Reading this year. Just announced on MAAM social media.

This includes photo pit access Friday/Saturday/Sunday, a Friday sunset photo shoot, a Saturday sunrise photo shoot, and a Saturday night engine run with professional lighting. The photo pit is on the opposite side of the airfi...

Re: National Warplane Museum Airshow: The Greatest Show on Turf 2023

CJEddy - I do remember seeing the site map with more of an even split between cars and general admission. That did seem like a good idea to me to cater to the drive-in attendees and those wanting a more traditional setup.. But this new map leaves no good space for general admission, let alone photog...

That site map is not very friendly to the general admission attendees. Unless you are a gold sponsor, top gun tent or have reserved seating... there seems to be little opportunity to sit in the front row. Very disappointing.

Re: EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2022

Anyone know which P-39Q they reference in Warbirds in Review? The Lewis P-39 isn't on their event calendar for Osh. Perhaps "Miss Connie" from CAF Central Texas Wing?

Re: MAAM World War II Weekend 2022

Airshow roster has been updated. It looks like we've lost the C-46 and B-25 Rosie's Reply, as far as the heavy iron.

Re: EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2022

Hello Everyone, I will be attending my very first Oshkosh this year. Seeing that it's looking to be a good one, I just had 2 quick questions to ask.

Re: Airshow London 2018

I suppose it could be one of the US Navy Aggressor squadrons. It totally slipped my mind that they still operate those. That would be great!

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

I'm not sure about stolen photos, but I am still seeing the comments on facebook and the "large" lens restriction on the website. Let's just all hope they review the policy and realize that us wingnut photographers are only a threat to our DSLR memory buffers, and the capacity of our memor...
