Re: 2024 EAA Air Venture Oshkosh

With the return of the Snowbirds just announced, does that mean the burn line will be moved back for their show days to accommodate the aerobatic box the way they did with the Thunderbirds a few years ago?

Re: 2024 - Which airshow would you choose?

If you are looking for the best variety of old, new and unique and before May 1st, I would suggest Sun N’ Fun in Lakeland, FL. Here is a link to my album from last year. https://www.flickr.com/gp/planesandstuff/S0tb7832v5

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

The use of dual runways is the difficult part as there is no real show center as some acts follow one and some follow the other. Expect a lot of heat haze as it is almost always humid and there are a lot of obstacles...

Re: Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2023

In watching the radar and other sources, it looks like so far the F-16 Demo team has arrived, along with 2xUH-60, CH-47F and an Aussie refueler.

Re: Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2023

How is it the London air show this very same weekend keeps adding flying aircraft and this show keeps losing aircraft?

Re: Guardians Of Freedom Airshow

Can’t speak for Saturday’s show, but I went on Sunday and I was impressed with the overall show. From the beginning cars were able to park early, getting through security was easy, there was a full ramp of statics, the crowd line was large and not overly taken up by chalets, the flying was varied an...

Re: Guardians Of Freedom Airshow

There is not a lot of info online from what I can find - it looks like they haven't done a show since maybe 2016? I did see one post where somebody said that the ingress/egress roads go throug...
