Re: First State Airshow 2024

Some of the people guarding that "No Photography Area" of the flightline were allowing people on Sunday to take pics of the F-15s from a certain angle. Apparently the issue was with something in the background on the airfield (not sure if it was a building or something else). I didn't see...

Re: 2024 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach Park

I would bet that the F-35Cs will be based out of Long Island MacArthur Airport. Nice to hear the A-10s should be at the museum. Last time the demo team was at the show, they were parked on the other end of the airport (at least they were when I was there). Going off memory here but for some reason ...

Re: 2024 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach Park

Like Chris S stated, they stage from Republic (FRG). I believe all of the performers except the 106th for this year's airshow will stage from there. I've seen the Blue Angels park near the passenger terminal and utilize that ramp all weekend. In the several trips I've made to this airshow in the pas...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Here's my "late to the party" take on this past weekend. Atlantic City, Dover, and McGuire are three events where it's not just my wife and I or just myself, but a good chunk of the immediate and extended family come along. My wife and I drove down Wednesday night and stayed less than a mi...

Re: 2024 NAS Oceana Air Show

That would be a bummer if they're not going to be there because of what happened last week. I personally wouldn't have an issue with it if they weren't at Oceana if the Polaris Dawn mission was scheduled to launch in September.

Re: First State Airshow 2024

What is a CAPES demo? That’s what they have listed for the F-15Cs, but I’ve never heard of it before and can’t find any info on it. They originally had it listed as a "capabilities demonstration," so probably a short form of that, though I'm quite ignorant to DOD acronyms so that's just a...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

So it was just me at the AMC Museum today. Got to see a lot, including what I was told were three C-5M demos. It's pretty impressive. Saw some of the static display aircraft come in... two C-130s (one from New Castle and a J-model from god knows where, heard someone say Dyess, but it had ZERO markin...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Anybody know if they will post the Times for each act ? Specifically for the F15s ? I'm bringing my 80 year old Dad, Airshows are getting tougher for him, we want to try and time our arrival, close the F15s. Thanks ! According to our host, the base didn't want to post exact times and no reason was ...

Re: Frecce Tricolori North American Tour 2024

I still don't get that break in the middle of August.

But on a lighter note, we might be adding another trip to see them. Haven't decided on where just yet.
