Re: Deke Slayton Airfest 2021

Agreed! The event is quite good. The traffic leaving is sadly always gonna suck probably... being on an island with only small roads around. I just stuck around and hung in my AC for a bit after the shows. Venom was awesome, glad I was finally able to check that box. The F-35 team was great. Also ex...

Nice!! Hope it does fly today! :D

Re: 2021 Cocoa Beach Airshow

When shows have the bombers in the lineup, do they usually do a practice run on Fridays? I have some time on Friday, so I was thinking about heading to the beach to try to catch some practice flights. Really interested in the bombers and the A-10. Well, in any case, we plan to be at the beach on Su...

Re: New Camera Input - DSLR/Mirrorless, APS-C/Full Frame

I know you're a Nikon user, but for the Canon folk out there. The rumor is there's an R7 coming down the pipeline (mid year 2021?). A crop body mirrorless body with 30+ megapixels. I'm going to hold of til this drops before I figure out what I want my next body to be. Just google Canon R7 and you ca...

Sadly Yuma Airshow 2021 has been cancelled, per their FB account. :(
Sad but not shocking.

Re: New Camera Input - DSLR/Mirrorless, APS-C/Full Frame

Hello! I browsed some of the other topics pertaining to equipment advice but most of them are older and cameras have come a ways since then, so I wanted to get some fresh input on cameras. I made it to my first airshow in 20 years last year and it was one of the most fun outings I've had with my ca...

Re: USN F-18F Rhino Demo Team & F-35C Airshow Team 2021 Schedule

Yeah Rhino Demo Team was just a rebranding of the Super Hornet Demo Team from VFA-106. Same thing. The West coast Super Hornet will still come from VFA-122 but only support Legacy Flights no demo. Sadly we didn't really hear anything about the Growler Demo team....hopefully it sticks around a little...

Re: Racine Airshow/Thunder Over North Beach 2021

Hey all! I cant speak for other organizers, but there is not an airshow in Racine in 2021. We are definitely hopeful we can make this happen in the future. With COVID and the uncertainty that it brings, along with the city being on shutdown through June, it was too impossible to make a show happen ...
