Re: Orlando Air and Space Show 2021

Originally, I was probably going to pass on this show since the F-35 dropped out. While the T-birds are a big draw, so are the other military demos. Now, it seems there will be both a Super Hornet Demo and Growlers (probably Legacy Flight & extra passes). If that holds, this will show will becom...

Re: Shuttleworth Collection Airshows 2021

Thanks for sharing the pictures! I'd love to see all those vintage planes flying around sometime.

Re: Great Florida Air Show 2021

And a few more from Sunday's show. The bad news for me is that my airshow days are now over until the Fall with the Sanford/Orlando show (maybe) and Stuart (most likely). Of course, I'd rather not be at an airshow in Florida during the heat of the Summer.

Re: Great Florida Air Show 2021

Here are a few from today. Growlers got some vapes on high speed passes. All 6 Blue Angels performed the whole show, so that was a positive. The crowd seemed to like all the acts. It was a great time today, but I'm very tired after this weekend. More pics to follow.

Re: Great Florida Air Show 2021

Thanks for that info. 5 had an engine problem. We are at the show today. Bert took off when we were coming in and returned a bit later with a replacement engine for #5. We'll see if they fly 5 or 6 Blue Angeld today. Fingers crossed for all 6. Loved seeing the Growlers do three high speed passes. So...

Re: Great Florida Air Show 2021

Was outside the airport today. Blue Angels started with all 6 planes. Part way through, #5 landed. At some point, #7 took off and joined the show. FYI, 'Bert didn't fly today, so I assume it still isn't certified. Edit: added a few pics from today. C-2 Greyhound, L-39, Growler, and a couple from the...

Re: Great Florida Air Show 2021

A few from today's practice. The Growlers did a couple passes, the Legacy Flight w/ Korean War Hero, then a few more passes. It seemed like one did a touch and go (couldn't see exactly from where I was), so I hope they continue to do that this weekend. The Viper Demo wasn't in the "Venom" ...

Re: Blue Thunder (1983)

Oh, man! I loved Blue Thunder "back in the day." Somehow I have a feeling if I rewatched it now, I wouldn't like it.

Re: Great Florida Air Show 2021

Viper Demo Team posted they will be practicing on Friday at 1:55 pm. I plan to be in the area and hope to catch Venom and, hopefully, the Blue Angels.
