After accepting a new position with my company, which allows greater freedom of travel to our clients, it's drastically changed my plans for the better.

I was already looking at McGuire, Pocono, and Atlantic City, which are still on the list, but I'm adding Greenwood Lake and Latrobe.

In addition, many of our clients have offices and locations that are within 30-45 minutes of several airshows, and as long as I spent Thursday and Friday with clients I could do what I want Saturday (airshow!) and come home either that night or Sunday. So now it's a matter of which shows...

Barksdale and TOM are the only two shows I'm planning on for sure this year, we've got a system go-live at work over the summer which is leaving a good chunk of the 2nd half of my year in a little bit of limbo as far as air shows and vacations. Here's what I'm planning on if I can work it into my schedule!
  • March 25-26 | Defenders of Liberty Air & Space Show | Barksdale AFB, Bossier City, LA
  • May 19-20 | TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans Airshow | Peru, IL
  • June 30 | Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival night show | Battle Creek, MI
  • July 8-9 | Wings Over Muskegon | Muskegon, MI
  • August 12-13 | Thunder Over Michigan | Ypsilanti, MI
  • August 26-27 | Guardians of Freedom Airshow | Lincoln, NE
  • September 2-4 | Cleveland National Air Show | Cleveland, OH-don't think I'll be able to make this one work but I'd really like to see the Harrier again
  • September 9 | Northern Illinois Airshow | Waukegan, IL

JBLM Air and Warrior expo - July 15th and 16th. I am within seven miles of the base, so I am really excited. It’s been seven years since they did the last show.

Seafair - August 4th. That’s the free practice day, so I will make my up to Seattle for it.

Following on from my post in the APOHR thread, if all goes to plan I'll be at:
  • Air Power Over Hampton Roads (Langley AFB)
  • Westfield International Air Show (Barnes ANGB)
  • Wings Over Wayne (Seymour Johnson AFB)
  • Power in the Pines Air & Space Open House (JB McGuire)
Travelling from the UK, first time at each of these.
