Almost all arrivals are on Thursday for Nellis. Thursday is a very busy day usually. Friday is usually quiet in the morning, then they get into a practice show from there.
The scanner will not be allowed inside the base. Of course, no problem using it outside the base on Thursday and Friday.

Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2017
Nice, glad to see some additions making the list. Hopefully I can catch the Bone coming in on Thursday! Also, hoping they add some more military hardware to the flying display...although everything listed is great in it's own way, everyone really comes to Nellis for the military. We need the Bone or...

Re: Wings Over Houston 2017
Here's a few pictures I took in Houston last weekend. It was a great show, just wish the F-100F and Mig-21UM could have flown. I also was really bummed there was no WB-57F on static display...I really want to see one in person. Can't complain at all though, got to see the Phantom back in the air. TA...

Starfighters
Anyone know if there is a chance for the Starfighters to return to the show circuit? I've seen them twice...Evansville, IN (two ship) and Ft. Smith (single ship). Loved them, and hope to see them again. I understand they have been contracted for NASA for a while, but haven't heard anything for a whi...

Re: JBSA-Lackland Kelly Field Annex
While I am still planning on going to this show...last weekend they finally updated their site and served up a big gut punch by removing the U-2 fly-by, and all three USAF bombers fly-bys (B-1B, B-52, B-2) that really sucks. I see the U-2 is still listed on ACC's website to flyover the USAF Academy ...

Re: Wings Over Houston 2017
Thanks for all the great info Owen and Ryan! Great to hear about the Phantom for sure...really was hoping to see the Mig 21, but I didn't see they had it listed to fly, just static, so still will be cool to see the two seater UM, even if it's static. I saw the MH-53 added on the "airshow inside...

Re: Wings Over Houston 2017
I'm thinking of driving down to Houston this weekend to catch this show. Looks like a pretty good line up to me. Besides seeing the TA-4J, F-100F, and HOPEFULLY the F-4 from the Collings Foundation, they'll have the Tulsa Vipers, Superhornet, & Thunderbirds that I'm looking forward to seeing. Th...

Re: Wingnuts Flying Circus. Tarkio, MO
Nice pictures! I went a few years ago, it was a blast. They definitely cram a lot of planes into that little airport...well worth going.

Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2017
I went last year, and will be returning this year. This will be my fourth trip out to Vegas for this show. As far as the speedway parking, get there earlier than 0800 in order to beat the big lines. I try for about 0730, and usually am on the first or second bus over. You will have to wait until the...

Re: JBSA-Lackland Kelly Field Annex
I agree, one of the better line ups I've seen this year! I wasn't even thinking about going to it until I saw this schedule. Still will be interested in watching what Nellis is going to come up with this year. I am doubtful I could pull off both that close together, so I'll have to decide.
