Radar showing rain hitting Dover now.

Pretty big rain area on Radar, but should go by in 2 or 3 hours.

Afternoon does not look that bad.

Security people love the clear bags.

They kiss me every time I bring a clear bag.

Don't know why everyone who likes attending high security events (airshows/sporting events) does not have a clear bag.

F-16 will be a Swamp Fox. Excellent.

If you live in the New York Metro area, here is a nice event to attend:

Adults are welcome. You do not have to be a Kiwanis member to attend.

Event is on LaGuardia airport grounds.

With the Northeast lacking shows this year (no McGuire, no Barnes/Westover, no Andrews), Dover seems like a "Don't Miss" show this year for the people in the Northeast.

Lets see how Binghamton shapes up.

Looks like the 1st Fighter Wing will send an F-22 for static display.

Langley is just too close to not send a jet.

Maybe it is time to move the show back to the AC airport and charge admission like most private shows do now.

I would be more inclined to pay $20 or $30 if the show was on-site with statics, etc.

Admission would cover the costs.

Sorry. Here is the link

This film was made by David Hoffman in 1981.

David Hoffman finally posted a better scan of "The Wing" on Youtube. (You can now select 1080 Hi Res; much better than the old posted version and DVD) I am sure most of you are familiar with this very nice 1981 documentary of the F-15 at Bitburg during the height of the Cold War. A classic!

The hotter and sunnier the weekend is . . . the more crowded it gets.

Remember, about 50% of the people are there for the beach and not the airshow.
