Re: Northern Illinois Airshow 2024 (Waukegan) - CANCELLED
I guess it's Freeport time. Someone told me that Freeport will be beefing up their line up to include more military in the coming years That's great news! I've had my eye on that one, but for what it is right now it's a little far for a one-day trip for me. Future military participation would chang...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024
Tri-State Warbird Museum also participating as usual. Not sure if it's just the TBM or if they'll bring the B-25 again.

Re: Helicopter demos at US airshows?
Best bet for helo action at US airshows seems to be in MAGTF and/or combined arms demos at military bases. The airshow at JB Lewis-McChord had some good helicopter action including Apaches, Blackhawks and a Chinook or two, but I don't think I've seen many true military helo demos. I'd love to see a ...

Re: Flight Line/Crowd Line Distance Question
Thoughtful responses, thank you. I had imagined Europe would be a way around the FAA rules and regulations. From what I see, military/civilian joint airfields offer the best chance in the US. I’ve seen some footage that shows that the airshow in Maine this year will be similar to Westfield, so that...

Re: Northern Illinois Airshow 2024 (Waukegan)
Growing more pessimistic about this one. I noticed it is no longer on the Dacy site, which is not promising as they usually provide sound services and a lot of the civilian performers. It would be a real shame if it didn't happen. The WHF aircraft plus a few civilian aerobatic performers are enough ...

Re: 2024 Milwaukee Air & Water Show
As others have said, Milwaukee is notorious for overpromising on military aircraft. Outside of the bombers, the fly-bys look fairly realistic since they incorporate local units. The CAF Zero and Hellcat might be legit as well, as their airshow schedule currently lists Thunder Over Michigan and Oshko...
