Re: Luke Days 2024

I was thinking about attending this show, since I will be in the area at that time, until I saw a $40 + fees parking pass is required unless you purchase upgraded seating. Sure GA is free, but not really. Is parking off base, which allows the organizers to charge for parking?

Re: Canadian International Air Show 2023

From a distance, I saw the Blues were practising around noon time, then I saw Fat Albert over the city around 3:00pm.
Also heard quite a bit of jet noise this afternoon.

Did CIAS have the practice show a day early?

Re: Sky Drive 2023 (presented by Airshow London)

I wonder if the Sea Fury will make it, I know it cancelled for Airshow Atlantic because of a fuel tank issue. P51 Double Trouble Two, same owners, also cancelled for Airshow Atlantic.

Re: Guardians Of Freedom Airshow

Hi, Looking for any tips or information about this show. I have never been, but thinking about going this year. How is traffic to/from from the show? Is there anywhere to park or line up before the parking gates open? Crowd size? How is lighting for photography, distance of crowd line from the show ...

Re: Sky Drive 2023 (presented by Airshow London)

When is the best time to see arrivals on Thursday? I know there's no set schedule, just wondering if there's a busy period during the day. I'm thinking of stopping in London on Thursday, then heading to Waukegan on Friday morning.

Thanks for any info.

Thanks!!
B52 and B1 should be both days, B2 very unlikely since they have been grounded since one crash landed at Whiteman AFB last December.

Re: 2022 Aviation Nation

If you want to stay close to Nellis, East Craig Road, North Las Vegas has a good number of hotels and restaurants. You will need a rental car as all parking for the show is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway where you will clear security then take a short bus ride onto the base.Make sure you know which par...

Re: Ellsworth Air and Space Show 2022

I'm hoping to see this show and spend a couple of days exploring the area. We're flying in and out of Denver, with Fri-Sun night planned in Rapid City. Is it better to stay in Rapid City for 2 more nights or is there a better option somewhere in between?

Thanks for any advice.

Re: MCAS Yuma Airshow 2022 (CANCELLED)

Disappointing, but not really a surprise either. I wonder how many active base shows in the US will go ahead in 2022, especially in the first half of the year.

Demo jet is fixed and is now in Toronto so should be a go for Sat/Sun
Good to hear, when I asked on CF18 FB page they said demo jet would not appear this weekend.
