No mention of them doing their own demo, just says "...joining..." so is it some 12-ship passes or what?

Re: 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show
I'm not finding anything showing the Thunderbirds as part of this show. They're in Ft. Worth that weekend according to their schedule. Nothing on the airshow site about it. It appears that the rumor started because some social media pundit at NAS ran a poorly chosen photo from the COVID lockdown fly...

Re: Gulf Coast Salute 2024
I had the need to drive across Tyndall AFB this past weekend, and it's obvious why the show was moved off-base. Tyndall is a bit unique for military installations in that it is bisected by US98 between Panama City to the west of Tyndall, and Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, and other points east. US98 re...

Re: AX53 Recording Issue
As has been pointed out, your edited video is interlaced, which places even number lines in one frame and odd number lines in the next, and any movement in the meantime obviously comes out at a different spot on the screen. The main issue you may end up with on that bundle is that you may not have a...

Re: SR71 N Blackbird
Looking at the Wikipedia article on the SR-71 and the list of surviving aircraft, I don't see anything closer to you than Hutchison, Kansas and Ashland, Nebraska, and I can't tell you anything about their environments. I know that the one at Eglin AFB's Air Force Armament Museum is outdoors, in fron...

Re: Flight Line/Crowd Line Distance Question
Sometimes the fence is set back from the edge of the tarmac far enough that the aircraft have room to taxi right against the crowd fence. You'll never get this close to a runway, but having a P-40, or P-51, or P-80, or B-25 taxi by only 30 feet away is pretty exciting! or an F-15 or an F-22! These w...

Re: Thinking About Getting A Longer Lens. I need Help.
My own lens for my Nikon D7200 is Nikon's 70-300 IF-ED lens has been satisfactory for all but the most distant shots. Its reach can cut off parts of an aircraft while the aircraft is directly ahead if I'm lazy on the zoom ring, but getting the top of a diamond loop is pretty far away and requires so...

Re: Gulf Coast Salute 2024
I haven't seen anything about seating or shade, and I highly doubt it, being on the beach. There is nothing firm enough to support seating. I would imagine everybody and their dog will be bringing EZ-ups and staking out plots early. I haven't seen anything about what you'd expect at an air shows as ...

Hey, it IS an air show, after all... :lol: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53315048882_d5e1a9d77c_b.jpg Look closely, as there are TWO airplanes here! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53316262604_9e9932d4ff_b.jpg The biggest vapor puff I got all weekend. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53...

Re: Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show 2023
Those speaker towers appeared at the 2015 show, and were actually taller then! Comparing this shot from 2015, the ad banner is actually above the top of the current tower's height, and the speakers are above that instead of behind the banner. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53313780413_14d9d4671...
