Re: Crossroads Air Show 2023

I reached out to Mt. Comfort Church about 1 mile S/SW of the runway and they appear to be offering their parking lot for the airshow. Might be a good alternative to miss out on the astronomical parking fees and admission for the show itself... "We are planning to offer parking for the event, an...

Re: Crossroads Air Show 2023

any more updates? Nope, except they have stuck to their insane parking /admission policies and pricing. I wonder if there may be some good off-site spots near the airport to view... I took a look on the way back from the Waco fly-in last weekend and there didn't seem to be any likely places. There ...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

To me the biggest thing is how the Fleet Air Power Demo has deteriorated over the years. It used to be so interesting not just with the variety of the demo, but also the aggressiveness of the passes. Yeah - just watching it on live stream it seemed pretty weak. The only time I was there in '04 whic...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Caught some of the live stream. Great show. I went to Oceana in '04 when the air power demo consisted of Tomcats and Hornets. Have F-35s not been deployed to that base yet?

Does anyone know why the Growlers don't take off in burner? They did the same at Oshkosh.
Good question, I noticed that too. Growlers stole the show.

Re: Northern Illinois Airshow 2023

This show continues to be one of my favorites. Always a good time, and military participation makes it that much better. Absolutely. From a venue perspective one of the better spaces. I don't think I saw Growlers as close up taxiing as I did - or all planes. Even the flying box very close to the cr...
