Usually I pay attention to that stuff, but I didn't have a great view of either runway from where I was. I didn't see it either.

Looks like today's show will be abridged due to weather.

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

Wings of Blue were accompanied by the Air Force Academy marching band, which I didn't expect. They were a treat.

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

I caught the thunderbirds from the top of the airport parking lot before my flight out. Looked like #4 had an issue fairly early. They did some of the 4 ships as a 3ship and they had 5 or 6 fill in for some of the others. Made for a bit of a weird show, but safety first and any flying is good flyin...

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

I is here; security was a breeze. Camera bag was not a problem. For some reason, the F-35's are parked with the exhaust aimed at the crowd. Hope people don't crowd around when they start. One TB is hangared. Only 5 jets currently in the lineup. We'll see if they tow a two seater over before showtime...

According to flightaware, it looks like the C-47 is "7H" from the Liberty Foundation and not "Luck of the Irish"

Weather looks a bit better for tomorrow. About to drive down. Can't wait!

Thanks for the update. The F-35B and P-51 formation flight will be interesting. Hope the rain holds off. 🤞

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

Yeah, the forecast doesn't look great either day. I'll be going Saturday for sure, but I'm not expecting a full show.

I finally caved and bought an AX53, so, if nothing else, this show will serve as a learning curve for using it.
