My top 5 displays were: 1. Slovenian PC-9, That guy deserves a keg of beer for getting the absolute maximum out of his aircraft....WOW. That outside loop is utterly insane. 2. Finnish F-18. They've officially perfected the F-18 display, it's so well choreographed and flown to the limits. 3. Couteau ...

Looks like Fat Albert has a practice slot booked for Seafair, and is supposed to fly an abbreviated demo every day down there. Since the Blues are arriving in Abby August 6th right after SeaFair without heading back to Pensacola first, one could assume Fat Albert will accompany the Blues up to Abby ...

On Abby's FB post, they say the 15s and 16s are USAF; I wonder if this means we're getting both USAF and USANG F-15s or just one of those? I'd imagine the Portland F-15's are who they meant. The Facebook posts are for the General Public, who typically don't know the difference between USAF and USAN...

An F-15 flying in the show would be welcomed...Been too long! Interesting tidbit from last year, there was scheduled to be a NORAD flyby with the Oklahoma ANG F-16's, but there arose a last minute issue with getting their jets the proper engine oil inspection. Apparently the Air National Guard insis...

Great Summary and Podcast...Although I'm pretty sure Ukraine doesn't own any thrust-vectored SU-27's. Only the SU-30/35 variant has 3D vectoring.

Last year's RIAT display was on a regular stock SU-27.

Anybody have any past experiences with this show from past years? I have never been and debating whether it is worth the 7hr drive from YYC. In particular they do a 10 ship CF188 + Hawks and Alpha Jet swarm attack demonstrations and that really peaked my interest. I attended the show in 2016 and it...

Anyone head out there yet? Or know if the exercise runs on the weekend? Saturday would be the only day I could check it out. Plus the weather during this week looks marginal at best until Friday.

Great news on the C-5M! I'd imagine it'll be bringing the guys from Creech AFB and the Reaper model with it inside, as it did at Lethbridge last year.

I'll miss the whine of those old TF-39's though...Super Galaxy is waaaay too quiet.

Ask and ye shall receive...Skyhawk N518TA Confirmed for Static.
