Re: 2022 US Navy F-18 Super Hornet West Coast Demo Team Schedule

Re: Glenview Naval Air Station Videos

During the summer of 1992 we had a special visitor at Glenview NAS. For the first time ever a B-52H decided to test the limits of the shorter 8,000' (and some change) runway. They used GNAS to stage out of for the DuPage Air Show just a hop skip and a jump from Glenview in the air. The B-52H was fr...

Re: USAF Heritage Flight Flyover-Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles

Ok, this one has bothered me for some time. Every time I have seen a heritage flight with an A-10 the WW2 counterpart has always been a P-51. The official 'nickname' of the A-10 is Thunderbolt II, the P-47 was the original Thunderbolt. The A-10 is a ground support aircraft, the P-47 was used heavil...

Re: USAF Heritage Flight Flyover-Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles

Hello, does anyone know good spotting locations for this event? I'm trying to catch these birds flying out of Los Alamitos on the 12th or 10th. Thanks! Edit: If anyone has the time (or estimate) of their departure, it would be great. Well, kick off is 3:30 PT so I'd say the flyover will be right be...

Short of the airshow performers who publish a yearly schedule, we probably wont know many others till the show is a few weeks out.
Since its still a "fly-in"ish event people wont really know til the event gets closer and they think they can make it.

At least they're more reliable than the Marines, who will likely release four Harrier dates – two of which will be wrong and one will be a show that has already been canceled. :roll:

Re: Northwest Illinois Airshow

Dacy Airshows also said the Warbird Heritage Foundations P-51and T-6 would be in attendance too. Hope this does well. I swore I heard someone say they're looking to grow this to be more than just a little small town show. Would be nice if next year they could get some ACC or Navy support and get a l...
