Re: Selfridge ANGB Air Show & Open House: Celebrating 100 Years of Selfridge

Great to see that the Collings F-4D has flown and will make the show on August 19-20. This has perhaps the best lineup of any weekend show in North America this year, and I wish I could be there. But I will see the F-4, F-100F, TA-4F and several other jets and prop warbirds flying at Wings Over Hous...

Re: EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 - Oshkosh, WI

Here is some unexpected but exciting news! How about a Cobra four-ship flight? Three P-63s and a P-39! http://www.warbirdsnews.com/warbirds-news/temp-title-historic-cobra-flight-happen-oshkosh.html Now that's the kind of thing I go to Oshkosh to see! But I acknowledge that many people love the civi...

Re: EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 - Oshkosh, WI

In other news, the Warbird Heritage Foundation stand down will likely cut any chance of seeing the F-86 Sabre four-ship formation. Vlado would have almost certainly been one of the T-33 pilots, so that four-ship is also likely off the table. Has anyone gone into the event on the pre-show Friday bef...

Re: EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 - Oshkosh, WI

So after a review of the webinar, Tuesday's national anthem was basically "a lot of moving parts and if it works it's be cool". Wednesday's national anthem was "we're counting on a tanker for some folks a long ways away". I'm going to guess that Wednesday is the Thunderbirds, be...

Hoping the much anticipated 4-ship Sabre formation finally does happen this year! 8-)

Paul Keppeler also just posted in WIX that there "might" be a decent T-33 formation too.

Re: EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 - Oshkosh, WI

EAA AirVenture is the place to be this summer it looks like! I thought 2016 was fantastic with the Martin Mars, but it looks like 2017 could out do last year. For my third Oshkosh (2010 and 2016 before), it will be the first time I plan to be there for the final Saturday. Glad my flight out is late ...

Re: 2017 NAS Oceana Air Show (Virginia Beach, VA) - Sept 15-17

Oceana just isn't what it used to....No variety in current Navy with the Hornets, Super Hornets and Growlers....unless you are a Hornet lover not a very exciting show. Up until the end of the Tomcat era in 2006 I used to go almost every year. Hope they have a great show again someday, but for now no...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2017: The Wonderful World of Flight

Any plans to get the German Airbus A400M to depart during the Sunday show? No, because then we wouldn't have them for the show on Monday ;) Historically, the GAF have always left on Monday (the day after the show) and arrived on Friday. Whether they will be leaving on Tuesday or leaving Monday even...
