Re: USMC AV-8B Harrier II Demonstration Team Final Air Show Season in 2024?

Something that’s been suspected for a while now. There was some speculation that the demo at Cleveland last year might have been the last one. There is no schedule for 2024, so Cherry Point will be the only demo this year. One thing I’ll point out is this is just for the USMC’s demo team. The Spanis...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

Some statics are now listed on the website. One that sticks out to me is the MQ-9 Reaper.

Re: 2024 USAF F-22 Raptor Demo Team Airshow Schedule

Looks like a different routine this year. Power loop goes straight into the high alpha pass. No tailslide. Video from Spencer Hughes.

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

Doc is Static only, but that's still amazing. Never seen a B-29 in person.

Re: USMC AV-8B Harrier II Pilot Becomes First American Ace Since The Vietnam War

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

Does anyone know why this show skews so heavily on civilian acts, whereas Yuma is more the opposite? Is there no MAGTF demo at this show? I was under the impression every major Marine base does one for their airshow. Believe that is the second “performer to be announced” as that’s a 2 hour block. F...

Re: 2024 NAS Oceana Air Show

Does this sound doable (other than we will be tired), and are we missing somewhere or could do with replacing a stop with another? Thanks in advance One other thing you could do if you're spending some time in the Virginia Beach area is the Battleship Wisconsin in Norfolk. Not much plane stuff, but...
