Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2019 "Corsair Crazy"

Had a great time at the show today, though the 2 hour break was a little excessive and annoying. The lineup was spectacular and the static ramp was full. The Corsair flight at the end of the show was worth the price of admission on its own. I’ll have photos to post later in the week when I finally g...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2019 "Corsair Crazy"

Wow, Viper Demo has had a string of bad luck lately. The delaminates over at RIAT and now this. They’ve got old birds like the other teams so I can understand the issues but it’s still terrible for them to be in the news like this. Looking forward to attending tomorrow! Should be a great weekend ove...

I sure hope it’s an oversight. I was really looking forward to seeing Screamin Sasquatch...never had the opportunity in the past.

Re: 2019 Dayton Air Show

A FYIs for anyone attending tomorrow... The busses for the “on-site” parking take FOREVER. Consider parking at the NMUSAF and paying $3/person. The 30 minute ride is well worth not standing in that line. Also, the posted schedule wasn’t followed at all today other than opening and closing acts. I do...

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow May 25-26

I went Saturday and hiked up on the hill with my kids. It was a good show but the 40 minute "mid-show break" that ended right as the rain moved in was frustrating. They seem to add little breaks and repeat acts to stretch the show. The small area they have for statics was full this year wh...
