Plan as of right now..

Thunder Over Louisville Air Show - Louisville, KY
Vectren Dayton Air Show - Dayton, OH
Cleveland National Air Show - Cleveland, OH
Spirit of St. Louis Air Show - St. Louis, MO
Owensboro Air Show - Owensboro, KY

Maybe NAS Jax?

Going to be a busy year:

JB Andrews Air Show - JB Andrews, MD (Blues and TBirds)
Vectren Dayton Air Show - Dayton, OH (Hometown Show)
Thunder Over Michigan - Ypsilanti, MI (Corsairs!)
Cleveland National Air Show - Cleveland, OH (F-35 Demo)
Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo - Chesterfield, MO (Red Arrows)
NAS Lemoore Central Valley Air Show - NAS Lemoore, CA (Master Jet Base, Home of the F-35C)
Aviation Nation - Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, NV (One of my favorite shows after attending for the first time in 2017)

The farthest I will be traveling is to NAS Lemoore with Nellis being a fairly close second.

Well I was planning on going to 7 starting with Andrews this year, but I had a nasty fall that messed up my knee. Its looks like I may not be healed enough to walk around by then, which is a major bummer.

I started the thread and then neglected to post my own list!

Here's where I plan to go:

Yuma Airshow
TBM Gathering
Latrobe, PA
Battle Creek, MI
Goshen, IN
Sheboygan or Manitowoc for pre-OSH clinics
Oshkosh!!!
Thunder Over Michigan
Cleveland
St. Louis
London, ON

= Possible Additions =
Fort Wayne
Dayton
Toledo
Oakland County
Nellis AFB

I hope to see all of my airshow friends as much as possible!

I'm planning a long road trip that will include:

WOW Wings Over Whiteman AFB, MO SEEN
Vectren Dayton Air Show - Dayton, OH SEEN

After I return home to BC, I'll see:

Boundary Bay, Delta, BC SEEN
AIAS, Abbotsford, BC SEEN

Possibly, but unlikely:
NAS Lemoore, CA
Aviation Nation, Nellis AFB, NV


EDIT - added SEEN

Have 3 in the books now,
Feb 17 Stars & Stripes Airshow Laredo, Tx
Apr 6 Heart of Texas Airshow Waco, Tx
Apr 13 Wings over South Texas Corpus Christi
Still to come,
May 5 Central Texas Airshow Temple, Tx
May 18 Defenders of Liberty Airshow Shreveport, La
Sept 14 CAF Airsho Midland, Tx
Oct 19 Wings over Houston
Oct 20 Ft Worth Alliance airshow
Oct 26 Wings over Dallas

SkyFest 2019 - Spokane, WA
Tacoma Freedom Fair - Tacoma, WA
Boundary Bay Airshow - Delta, BC
Abbotsford Airshow - Abbotford, BC
Hillsboro Airshow - Portland, OR

Unfortunately I think I’ll skip Andrews. Rather spend this weekend with my mom anyway. Looking at the following in the fall:

Sept 21-22: Oceana (maybe)
Sept 28-29: Robbins (maybe)
Oct 12-13: Atlanta Speedway (probably)
Nov 2-3: Moody (maybe)

One thing I really don’t like about the NC/SC air shows...they all happen around the same time of the year. It gets way too busy in late April/early May, and then nothing for the rest of the year.

Been wanting to post for awhile, forgot my password and just now reset it!

May 4 & 5 - Planes of Fame (Chino, CA)
May 18 & 19 - Hangar 24 Airfest (Redlands, CA)
August 3 & 4 - Thunder Over Michigan (Ypsilanti, MI)
September 11-15 - Reno Air Races (Reno, NV)
September 28 & 29 - Miramar (San Diego, CA)
October 5 & 6 - The Great Pacific Airshow (Huntington Beach, CA)

Chino was great! Looking forward to another great year of airshows. First time to Thunder, 20th time to Reno!

So far it's just Aero-Gatineau 2019 for me, August 13th for the Red Arrows and Sept 6-8. Does that count as one or two?

I live close to CYUL so I go spotting often, and with events like the Formula One earlier this month, which had a CF-18 flyover, I get free airshows in my backyard if I pay attention
