Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

Third year going. Went on the Saturday. The sky jumpers were a nice touch to the show and Team Titan even with three ships did a great job. Would have been cool to see the B-25 takeoff and do some flybys. It wasn't until after the show it did some rides. I wonder if they can ever land a modern jet ...

Re: 2024 Chicago Air & Water Show

Not sure last year the f-16 demo came and didn’t do flares over the lake it’s a shame politics affect airshows I can almost guarantee it's not Chicago politics keeping it from using flares. I think politics has a role. With their warped thinking, they may deem flares as unsafe even though clearly o...

As along as the MiG-29 shows up, we're good.

Re: 2024 Chicago Air & Water Show

Glad the F35C returnin 2022 weather was a disaster hopefully isn’t the case this time Any chance they can dump flares over the lake? The AF version did so at Gary a year or two back. Same lake. I'm thinking Chicago politics, restrictions and or red tape may be extraordinarily high to garner approval.

Re: 2024 Spirit of St Louis Air Show & STEM Expo

Hey guys, What does everyone think of the ticket policy? I'm looking forward to the show, but due to being out of state and weather Id like to stay flexible on the date as long as I can. Balancing that with the risk of a day being sold out. Anyone worried about waiting too long and a day being sold...

Re: 2024 USMC F-35B Lightning II Demo Schedule

In short, yes it is a trend. The Marines initially released a small schedule at ICAS with a number of extra 'alternate' sites that were unlikely to get a demo. Then they unexpectedly said even the alternates were good to go. Now they are reportedly having trouble meeting all of those commitments an...

Re: 2024 USMC F-35B Lightning II Demo Schedule

With the F-35B cancelling out of the couple shows already, MCAS Cherry Point and St Louis, is this a trend? Worrying about Oshkosh. In short, yes it is a trend.

Re: 2024 EAA Air Venture Oshkosh

Is the B-29 formation flight only at the beginning of the Wed night show? Any other days?
