Re: 2023 F/A-18 Super Hornet East Coast Demo Team Schedule

For what it's worth, they are practicing the demo over Oceana this Wednesday. I believe is the first time this year. NOTAM says 15,000' AGL so this is at least hope that maybe they are close to getting back to the standard full demo. I unfortunately do not arrive into the area until Thursday AM, so ...

Re: 2023 F/A-18 Super Hornet East Coast Demo Team Schedule

Will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out. There still has yet to be a demo over Oceana this year, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean we won't see a schedule and subsequent practices in the coming weeks. Like Ryan said, Key West specifically lists VFA-106 for a demo in a couple o...

Re: Cleveland National Air Show 2023

This KC-135 demo team is a new one for me. I am not sure what the demo entails, but does it always include some air to air refueling passes? If so, would be awesome if the Bayou Militia brought back the F-15C's again and they did some combined passes. I know Dayton has them for a second straight yea...

Re: AirPower Over Hampton Roads 2023

F-18 Rhino demo team added according to the website. Interesting as this would most certainly be the Oceana boys, but they have yet to practice this year and still do not have a schedule posted. That said, the show is still 6 weeks away and if they are adding it to the website at this point you woul...

Re: AirPower Over Hampton Roads 2023

Lineup is looking solid for this year, but it occurred to me that this is typically the only ACC based show that does not have a combined arms or close air support type demo. Seems like Shaw, SJ, DM, etc. always have one. Regardless, at a minimum it would be nice to see the local assets fly more tha...

Re: Navy Demo Team Schedules?

I'd say it's probably panic time on the East Coast Rhino Team from VFA-106. As you referenced, there are typically several practices over base by this time of the year. There hasn't been any to my knowledge. When I was spotting at Oceana a couple of weeks ago there was still a lot of jet swapping go...

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow 2023

The shows official website has removed the super hornet demo from the list of performers. Plus Dave Schultz never had it listed on his event Facebook page. It's not looking likely this show will have a Rhino demo. As I said in another forum, I am starting to wonder if VFA-106 is even doing demos thi...

Re: NAS Key West Southernmost Air Spectacular 2023

Something to note here is that when you click on the legacy flight link it references that the F-18 will be from VFA-106. Since there is no mention of a Rhino demo this begs the question, will VFA-106 only be doing legacy flights rather than full tac demos in 2023? I know on previous years the West ...

Re: AirPower Over Hampton Roads 2023

What the AF sends has absolutely no impact on what the Navy sends not to mention what I said is accurate where your statement is nothing but opinion. APOHR has had Navy support at almost every show in the last 25 years. Guess time will tell once the Navy schedules come out in the next month or so. M...

Re: AirPower Over Hampton Roads 2023

Not sure I agree with the statement that there probably won't be any hornets flying. I'd say there is a pretty good chance Oceana sends the Rhino demo team. If I have been to 10 Langley airshows in my life I'd say the vast majority had a hornet demo or prior to that a tomcat demo. Plus, with Langley...
