My god I hope everyone makes it to the show okay that planned ahead and printed their parking passes. The ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of a military installation monitoring how many vehicles come on base. Absolutely unbelievable. Reading and following instructions is very hard for the alleged uneducated masse...

Also, as a relative newb to airshows, can you direct me to a "maneuvers for dummies" cheat sheet or something? I have had a great time every time I see a show, and have seen a lot more in recent years, but I couldn't identify any maneuvers or things like that. The best I can do is identif...

We had this as our opener for the year but after moving, it just wasn't going to work out. The whole "you need a parking pass to enter the show grounds" policy was another reason we decided against the ten hour drive. I can only imagine the outrage this will have from people who think &quo...

Emailed the BAHF last week to see if they had any plans to bring the C-97 or C-54 to Airventure, and so far no response. Although it’s unlikely it would be absolutely incredible to see the Angel of Deliverance flying on the circuit again Here's an article that was written in 2022 about the C-97 and...

Wow. This year's event has taken a lot of hits to the aircraft participation side of things. Not having Yankee Lady or Diamond Lil definitely sucks - same for the Helldiver - and at this rate I'd hope that FIFI can still make it. It makes me wonder what the museum's contingency plans are. Out of cur...

I thought the show was going to be a wash out the way it was heading. Glad to see it start to really take flight. The lineup is looking like a 12-3 or 12-3:30 kind of airshow. A part of me does think we've only seen a partial performer lineup and this may end up being a 12-4 airshow. My father and ...

yeah i was thinking they maybe bring something from overseas, maybe an f35 or typhoon but i dont know, all i ask is to keep me updated on all of this. thanks! i really hope the jet demo isn’t the l39 that will be a massive disappointment because it’s there every year and shouldn’t be kept a secret ...

Between the photos here and the stuff I've seen online (great work, by the way!), I have one question for you all.

What's with all the black fencing around some of the show areas? It doesn't appear to be temporary and it's in a lot of people's photos and videos.

After my reply it made me think and look back a couple years, both here and on YouTube, and two words came to mind: Bayou Militia. These guys and gals seem to be getting around to airshows, not just for static display, but also in the airshow flying displays. If you took NAS/JRB New Orleans out of p...

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

Admission would cover the costs.

This was an idea I had early on in the thread.
