Re: Atlantic City Airshow 2024

Maybe it is time to move the show back to the AC airport and charge admission like most private shows do now.

I would be more inclined to pay $20 or $30 if the show was on-site with statics, etc.

Admission would cover the costs.

"The Wing" F-15 Documentary - Better Quality

David Hoffman finally posted a better scan of "The Wing" on Youtube. (You can now select 1080 Hi Res; much better than the old posted version and DVD) I am sure most of you are familiar with this very nice 1981 documentary of the F-15 at Bitburg during the height of the Cold War. A classic!

Re: 2024 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach Park

The hotter and sunnier the weekend is . . . the more crowded it gets.

Remember, about 50% of the people are there for the beach and not the airshow.

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Lets hope we do not get the 90 degrees we had in May 2022. Remember that?

Saturday was unbearable. People were dropping out all over the place on Saturday.

Sunday was a bit less humid, but still very hot.

May should not be that hot. One of the reasons they have the show in May.

Re: Atlantic City Airshow 2024

Why can't the Casinos put up the $300K?

They have plenty of money and the show is good for their business.

Re: First State Airshow 2024

F-16 probably from NJ 177 FW, but 20th FW might surprise us with a jet.

Hope the 1st FW sends an F-22 for Static. They've had either a static F-22 or F-22 Demo the past several years.

DVIDS has some photos of the celebration

Looks like the F-16's were behind the barricades.

Hope more photos are posted later.

Re: Millville Wheels & Wings Airshow 2024

One thing for sure: No USAF fighter statics; F-35, F-22, F-16 and F-15's cannot land at Millville.

Re: Atlantic City Airshow 2024

I think they did the show on a Friday one year. Not sure what year.
