Re: Pistons and Props 2024

I think this will probably be similar to the Janesville Warbird Weekend that was held from 2016-21 only with cars involved. The old social media pages for that event don't appear to exist anymore. Maybe Bessie's Diner is involved in some way. I think they have hosted a fly-in the last couple years.

Re: Possible Participation By European Teams In 2024

I'm holding out hope for the Red Arrows appearance. I really enjoyed their performance in Chicago last time they came to North America and would make seeing them again a priority. I doubt I will get to see the Frecce Tricolori unfortunately, unless they add something to that open August 17-18 weeken...

Re: Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival 2024

I'm assuming the Erickson aircraft will be the P-38 that is coming to Thunder a couple weeks later. I noticed it will also be at Duluth. Strong lineup so far! This will be part of our July 4 weekend plans.

Re: Skydrive 2024 (Airshow London)

Well, I took the leap and decided to get tickets for the first time. Not normally a fan of drive-ins, but I'm going to go in with an open mind. This is the best fit for me to potentially see a big show for RCAF 100. Hoping the Red Arrows rumors come through and if not, it will still be my first time...

Re: Wings Over Muskegon Air Show 2024

A-10 demo and Randy Ball MiG-17 scheduled to be there. I'm planning to attend. Going up to visit extended family for the Muskegon shows was a big part of my childhood and this will be a fun trip down memory lane.

Re: Wings By the Wabash 2024

A-10 demo is a nice get for this show. Hoping for a good crowd to support the airport as they are rebuilding after taking a direct hit from a tornado last spring. Also part of the lineup: Susan Dacy - Super Stearman Mike Vaknin - Extra 300 Bob Richards - Machaira Erik Edgren - T-Clips Comedy and Aer...

Some preliminary info. Looks like it may just be a static event.

Re: Aeroshell Aerobatic Team rebranding?

Glad the paint schemes are basically the same. One of the best schemes on the airshow circuit!

Official news released by Collings Foundation in their newsletter.

I had a feeling it would probably come to this, but the finality of the ne...
