For Oregon I considered adding in Hillsboro for people you have Oregon on the list. Radom is the show to see all the Russian and US built fighters (mostly Russian).
Poland's Su-22s and MiG-29s are one of the reasons why I'm hoping to make it out to Radom next year as they're due for retirement sometime during the decade. In fact, I've been thinking about the possibility, should Europe be feasible next year is also doing the Slovak International Air Show since it's the following weekend after Radom and also how close the countries of Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia are together.

I feel as though I’ve ticked off pretty much every European event that I want to, with the exception of the Serbian Air Force event every October which is incredibly difficult to get any information on and I’m unsure whether non-Serbians are even allowed entry. Most of my bucket list consists of non-European events like..

- LIMA, Malaysia
- Avalon, Australia
- FIDAE, Chile
- Ex Dawn Strike, RAAF Williamtown
- CRUZEX, Brazil
- I’d love to see an Indian Jaguar fly, but Aero India looks dire so I’ll have to hope that they exercise somewhere internationally

Due to COVID-19 Fallout It's logical that there's no shows/displays to attend within a short distance, may as well fortunately look to 2021.

What's left of 2020 Air Displays
  • October 3rd & 4th: "NBVC Point Mugu AIr Show 2020"
    (No website for this event yet)
  • November 14th & 15th: "3rd Annual Hangar 24: Lake Havasu City Airfest 2020
    (No website for this event yet)
