Re: First State Airshow 2024

New addons just announced. New performers: Precision Exotic Cars Extreme Flight with Pat McAlee Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Truck Okay, I've been to many airshows over the decades and I feel like I've seen just about every major civilian act that's out there, and if I haven't, I'm sure I've heard of it som...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

Too bad about "Yankee Lady." I swear that is the most snake-bitten aviation museum around. Looks like the EAA B-25 "Berlin Express" is coming: https://www.eaa.org/flights/flightregistration.aspx?ID=2726900 Correct. We wanted to announce that at the same time as Yankee Lady but w...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

"Yankee Lady" is out due to hangar door collapse. The plane is fine but a temporary wall was built that doesn't allow for egress of the aircraft. The new hangar door won't be complete in time for the event.

The UH-1 Huey will still be present for rides.

F-35C team mentioned above was what we were waiting on.

Re: Helicopter demos at US airshows?

I also saw something similar with a Loach, Hueys, Cobras, a Skyraider, Twin Otter, Beaver, O-2 and others at Battle Creek in the mid-90s, but I don't remember the name of the group. Would be cool (and costly) if something like that could be revived. 69th Battallion. Couldn't tell you when they stop...
