Re: 2019 Oregon International Airshoow

Found this on Facebook and Instagram. If a major performer like possibly the Red Arrows is coming, we should be expecting a full schedule of a certain team very soon! https://www.facebook.com/oregonairshow/photos/a.10152448301650914/10156187594280914/?type=3&theater Either the Red Arrows or the...

Current performers as of 31 Jan. 2019 from the website: There will be performances by: USAF Thunderbirds US Army Golden Knights F-22 Raptor Demo Team C-17...

Re: Tacoma Freedom Fair & Airshow

Hello Ryan, Thanks for adding those items to my post. The Navy sent out an e-mail to those shows receiving support and which units will be supporting. Tacoma will be getting support from VAQ-125 out of Whidbey Island, they fly Growlers. Gig Harbor also is getting support, but from VFA-122 out of Le...

Wish I could afford the airfare to go to NAS Oceana - you won't miss much. Going for the F-35 & the T-33.

Re: Navy TAC Demo 2019 Status

I just <3 the Navy Tac Demo, so I hope they're back and back for good. There's something neat about flying in FSX a Vertical Reality Simulations version of the Super Hornet (aka Rhino, Superbug) and then seeing the real-life jet perform at an airshow, light the afterburners and create its own clouds.

Re: 2019 USAF F-22 Raptor Demonstration Schedule

Not many F-22 shows in Northeast. (Most of the ACC schedules lack Northeast shows.) Looks like I will only see them this year at Dover. Hope the Dover show is on the base like in 2017 and not at the Museum as in the past. I like to see the F-22 Team ground show. Last year I saw the F-22 Demo at 4 d...

Re: RAF Red Arrows announce 2019 North American Tour

I would put significant bets down on Abby getting the Red Arrows. Abbotsford is the best airshow in the Pacific Northwest, got a photo pit, great people, three days of fun, few to no noise whiners (they're atrocious south of the ridiculous US-CAN border!). Also maybe Eurofighter will please wise up ...

Re: Why do we rarely see bombers flying during air shows?

Going to Travis' show for several reasons. One of which is to see the C-5 Galaxy fly out of its own base.

But yeah, it'd be wonderful if the B-1B would come to say... Abbotsford International to sit static and then take off Departure Monday. PLEASE.
