Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

I am so sorry to hear about this. I would have been angry too. This happened to me at Andrews 5/6 years ago, the lady in uniformed at the security check said my Sigma 150-600 was too big, even though nowhere on their website said anything about the lens size limit. I told her that but she just didn...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

My company is one of the sponsors and I will be there all 3 days. Live less than 2 miles away. The Friday show is always a blast seeing active duty and veterans enjoy with families and school kids. Just wish they would have vendors open and ready on Friday as well. Usuallly they aren’t open for bus...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

I also heard Cherry Point is a mess right now. Hopefully Dover is not the same. I've seen some of the comments on here and on social media. Saying that it's a mess is probably the understatement of the century. I've seen it, been there, done that many times. In my decades of airshows, both McGuire ...

You're good.

On better news, my wife and I got invited to the Friday show by a friend who is stationed at Dover. We're excited about that!

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

I spent hundreds of dollars, drove a thousand miles, and waited in some of the worst air show traffic I’ve experienced only to be denied entry because my 60-600 lens was too long. A guy told the Marine going through my bag to have me extend the lens, and told him it was too long. I had them both co...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

If you truly believe in a weather forecast more than 72 hours out, do yourself a favor and go buy a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket. Over the decades, I've learned not to be worried about rain but to be more worried about cloud ceilings and the visibility. Having said that, I have been to many air...

Re: 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show

This was on the radar for 2025 but adding the Thunderbirds (and HFS to the rest of the lineup!) just might make me reconsider. 2011 was my last time at NAS Pensacola. Perhaps it's time to revisit. Do they still do the twilight show on Friday night or is that a thing of the past? Hi all, debating whe...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Jersey jerks have been added. Will the lineup Ever stop growing. 😂 biggest lineup I’ve ever seen. Loving it! If you have them, you'd very likely have Kevin Russo doing his solo routine. As for biggest lineup, well, it's more acts than 2022 and probably in the same timespan as in 2022. Remove the tw...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Does that mean all the marine helicopters will be stationed at Dover for the duration of the airshow? So will we see AF1 in the distance at Dover? In the two plus years my wife and I lived in Delaware, I honestly couldn't tell you where Air Force One was parked when he went to the shore house. Same...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Latest Addition: Scott ‘Scooter’ Yoak and his P-51 Mustang “Quicksilver” https://www.facebook.com/share/AK8KRAaDiG3chMkZ/? I suppose I spoke too soon when I said "we've seen the final lineup", though this wouldn't qualify as an eleventh hour addition. Off topic, but somewhat related to th...
