Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2023

It didn't help that a B-52 doing a Demo of the crosswind crabbing system on the gear at RIAT Airshow in the UK took out 18 lights on the edge of the runway with its outrigger wheel. It was taxing in while crabbing at about a 30 degree down the runway showing off. I did see a spread sheet that listed...

Re: Cleveland National Air Show 2023

There are several lots in the city that are much cheaper than the Airshow parking. You also don't have to wait in the long line of traffic getting in and out of the parking line. I think you could get a garage for $7-$20 within a few blocks of the show. Just check Google Maps for parking garage in t...

Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2023

What time do the gates open? I’ve seen some sources say 8 and some say 7. If I remember right (which isn't often) I think it is 7 am. Trouble is the shuttles Trams don't start running till 8:00-8:30 depending when the volunteers can get the tractors out and hooked up to the trailers. So if you want...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

The line up looks great but the $225 tickets for a half day show without much of a chance for a view without ten rows of cars in between you and the runway kind of puts me off. I wish they would get rid of the Drive in style of airshows. The Pandemic is over but I suspect this more over money than s...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2022

The airshow overall was pretty good mainly due to rarity of the planes and numbers. The B-52 was a no show and so was the F-86. I hope the organizers might read this review of the show so they could put on a better show next time. I was on the City side with the sun behind me. The biggest complaint ...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2022

Does anyone have any inside info on what planes will be on the ramp for the Static display at Louisville Airport Sunday ? The line up for the flying part of the show looks great if they show up . Thanks .

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2022

The Line up looks fantastic. B-2's,AC-130 and B-52's plus 10 or 15 other military planes. Many of the planes will just do Flybys but the variety is great. It usually is crowded but if you get there in the morning you should be able to get a front row view. If you get there later most of the planes f...

Re: Thunder Over Louisville 2022

Finally an Airshow with great lineup ! B-2, F-22 and F-100 plus others. All that and it is a Free Airshow ! It makes you wonder why other airshows that charge $30-$100 for a ticket can't do more than the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels and a few aerobatic planes. Hats off to the Thunder Over Louisville ...

Re: CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show 2021

The Static display has improved the offerings of this weak show. B-52,E-2,KC-46,KC-135 are all a plus. An Airshow of this size that has one F-18 one F4U and the Thunderbirds and about three acrobatic acts is pretty pathetic oh wait I forgot a Care flight helo is going to fly by. I may skip the $30 ...
