Re: Stuart, FL Airshow - Nov 1-3

Looks to be the Grumman OV-1 Mowhawk from Mowhawk Air Shows. Sadly it includes one fatality.

Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2019

Yes, WRAITH will be an F-16 aggressor painted in black with red stencil (see photo rendering). Ghost was the most recent paint scheme for an aggressor before this one came about. Last I heard from the 57th Wing Commander was Ghost wouldn’t fly, but would be on static. That was a couple months ago wh...

Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2019

Sounds like the debut of WRAITH will happen at Aviation Nation as well! The 57th Wing Commander mentioned it or actually shared a post from Nellis AFB on Facebook and the Commander said (don't know how to embed the post): "WRAITH...you helped with the name, we'll get the paint. Wanna see it up ...

Re: B-17 Crash In Connecticut

This still just doesn't seem real...like a bad nightmare or something. In the first or second week of August, this tour was here in Dayton the week after Thunder Over Michigan for one of their stops and that was the first and now the only time I was able to see Nine O Nine. One of the reasons I was ...

Re: NAS Lemoore Central Valley Air Show 2019

I will be attending this show and was looking through the schedule yesterday after they released it. One item that is absent is the Rhino tac demo. I thought maybe it would be just before the Legacy flight, but seeing as how that is scheduled for 1300 and the Patriots fly at 1310, it doesn't seem t...

Re: Every second photo blurry?

You don't by any chance have any sort of UV filter attached to the Sigma 150-600 do you? I have UV filters on all my lenses (which are all Canon except for my Sigma 150-600) and the only one I had issues with was the Sigma. I sent my camera/lens to Sigma for calibration and they confirmed that image...

Re: Airshow London 2019

A counterpoint to the frustration posts which are kinda feeding off each other. I am among those who fly in for the show - have done it for the past three years. In each case I have made the call to book photo pit tickets, exorbitant air fare from the east coast, hotel and car rental primarily upon...

Re: Airshow London 2019

I have attended this show for the past two years and overall I have enjoyed it. That said, I won't be attending this year. There were several shows I was considering when planning out my schedule earlier this year that were within a month or so of ASL. ASL only listed the usual CF-18, Snowbirds and ...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2019 "Corsair Crazy"

I saw 8 Corsairs on the ramp when I left, and I've heard that a 9th apparently showed up? A group of 3 is/was working their way in. A very tame day for arrivals today. The runway is just soooo far away even with the parallel show line. Practice was short, just the P-51 acro (Swamp Fox), Michael Gou...
