Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

My only critiques would be to space out the trainer flights and bring in a bomber that will fly in the show. Trainer flights are fine and it's cool to see them highlighted, but an hour straight of only 1-2 trainers in the circuit at a time after the fighters and heavies flew was pretty dull. Spread...

Redline wasn’t added to the website yet. The schedule will also have to be updated and should be by early June.

Two new aircraft added, both from Timmermans Legends of Flight. Sea Fury FB Mk. 11! & TF-51D Mustang "Double Trouble Two"!

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

I was hoping there would be a Super Stearman aerobatic display here. Surprise surprise, obviously not. We've never had a Super Stearman aerobatic display here. We always try to keep it to one big aerobatic act and then fill in around with warbirds. This year JP Mellor will be performing aerobatics ...

Re: Defenders of Freedom Air & Space Show 2024
