Re: USAF Heritage Flight

Yeah I'm trying to think if I've ever seen the Jug in the HF outside the HF conference. I'm not sure that I have.

Re: Sky Drive 2021 (presented by Airshow London)

I will admit, I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of Fast Jets as well. I mean, I know last year was a special case, but losing the F-15 and F-16 is a real kick in the backside for the Saturday folks. Trust me you guys got it good in the fast mover department. A vast majority of shows live with a je...

Re: Decatur Airport 75th Anniversary Air Show Celebration

Overall a great little show. Only $5 to park and free entry. Beverages were reasonably priced. Our parking spots (which was regular public parking) were super close. Traffic to get out was no big issue. Plenty of restrooms. Photography and video wise the light was good. Saturday the wind was calm so...

Re: Exercise Northern Lighting

The safest place to watch I felt was a church parking lot off the east side of the runway. You cant see the runway because of trees. But they come quite close when on final to land. The road on the west side of the runway we were told to leave by the authorities It was an ok spot but not worth the h...

Re: Exercise Northern Lighting

Thanks for the feedback! I was planning to take my sons tomorrow or Sunday. If you can find out more precise afternoon launch times or places to view, I'd greatly appreciate it! Correct, no flying on the weekends. Good thing you asked. If you do happen to go on a weekday. Ryan is pretty spot on. Tw...

Maybe saving time on the other jet?
On the plus side, the forecast at the moment looks quite nice.

Re: Decatur Airport 75th Anniversary Air Show Celebration

So I messaged the show and they said its a normal show, not drive in. Which makes me wonder where things will be parked, besides cars. LOL
No statics maybe?

Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2021

Is there any chance that the Blacksnakes will be landing and going on static display Thursday? We get in to MKE at 230pm and will probably not be there until 330-400. Really hoping to get the Blacksnake jet if it comes. Also, do they release the statics schedule at all? Thanks Jordan Usually we don...
