Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2024

got it, and just one more question, when the demo teams do their stuff what side will they focus more on? as in when the F-35C/E/A-18G do their photo passes what side would the top of the aircraft be facing? [/quote] They focus more on the Kentucky side. Slightly closer and topside passes would be o...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2024

Interestingly enough, the local news press release I referenced from WDRB is the only publication with the full performer list and is also the only I have seen mentioning the F-35C. Maybe they got their hands on it and leaked it pre maturely. The official Thunder website only calls out the following...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2024

And... I was wrong. Looks like they released essentially the full line-up today, which they haven't done this early on prior years. Interestingly enough some of the civilian performers booked per their schedules are not included. There are also several military demo teams listed that have not releas...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2024

Based on previous years it will likely just be some of the highlights including any confirmed demos teams, civilian performers, and the warbirds. The full schedule including all the flyovers is typically only provided a few days before the show. Guess we will find out shortly though.

Re: Westmoreland County Air Show 2024

Well said! Couldn't agree more. Now with regards to the T-birds, I do have my doubts of them returning primarily because they were just here in 2023. Very few shows (seems like with the exception of Huntington Beach) get them back to back years. Not saying it's impossible, but probably unlikely. Gue...

Re: Westmoreland County Air Show 2024

Take it easy pal. I was simply speculating about the rumors of a late summer tour by one more of the European teams. Not once did I say anything about this show even rumored to have one participating. Plus, while I get your point about less competition for shows maybe that time of the year as oppose...

Re: Westmoreland County Air Show 2024

That was my thought as well. You'd think the move is to accommodate a jet team being that they didn't have one booked when the 2024 preliminary schedules came out last December. That timing could coincide with a team from across the pond as well if those rumors are true. Also, as a Western Pa native...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Couldn't have said it any better. I don't want to come off as one of those people that reminisces constantly about "the good old days", but in this case when you compare the Rhino demo to the Raptor, F-35A, F-35C, and Growler demo teams it's literally like checkers to chess at this point. ...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

A prior post mentioned something lacking this year. I honestly couldn't agree more. I attended Saturday and watched off base and from the beach Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. To me the biggest thing is how the Fleet Air Power Demo has deteriorated over the years. It used to be so interesting not just...

Re: Cleveland National Air Show 2023

"Strange day" is certainly an interesting way to describe the most entertaining practice day at Cleveland that I have ever seen and honestly I don't think it's even that close. From 10am-1pm and 1:45-3:15 it was literally non-stop action. Most of which were fast movers. We were out on the ...
