Re: 2024 A-10 Thunderbolt II Demo Team Schedule

That's certainly a bummer. I knew this would come sometime soon, but I didn't know this would be the last year for the A-10 demo. For the USAF - please make an F-15EX Demo team (or Strike Eagle). Or better yet, have a two-ship Eagle demo team like the Growlers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But ...

Re: Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2023

Anyone else get hassled by SF for having a zoom lens "longer than 12 inches?" Was caught completely off guard seeing that on the prohibited items list upon walking in. I got held up by three of them at the gate over bringing mine in - I only made it through by lying and enabling the zoom l...

For those interested in the statics, looks like the 911th Airlift Wing’s new invasion stripes C-17 just arrived from Pittsburgh for the show.

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow 2023

Update regarding the schedule: Curious about the event schedule of this year's show? Unfortunately, the schedule will not be solidified until the morning of the airshow to allow for security, safety, weather, and general operational smooth-sailing. The gates still open at 9:00am, and we hope to see ...

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow 2023

In the past, LBE could not handle aircraft of a certain size/weight due to its runway. It was rehabbed and widened in 2020, so I'm not sure if that's the case anymore. Largest military aircraft types it has seen are generally C-130s and C-32s. They did get the Luftwaffe A400M into there last year as...

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow 2023

Guys, I agree that the map as presented by the Airport is very confusing. I've asked for the airport to clarify a few things: 1) General Admission Seating vs. Parking 2) Location of ALL Static Displays 3) Use of old ramp static display area that is near the hangars on the south end of the airport a...

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow 2023

So disappointed they are continuing with this format. Effectively makes this a drive-in show once again with worse views than those from pre-pandemic.

Going to attend practice day but now I'm no longer sure about the show itself. Meanwhile, Columbus is just less than 3 hours down the road from me...
