Re: 2024 A-10 Thunderbolt II Demo Team Schedule

When I saw the news that the A-10s at Davis-Monthan AFB were being divested, I figured this was going to be the case. I have three shows on my schedule featuring the A-10 and may end up with five depending on how late season plans shake out. Will be a nice opportunity to say farewell. This will crea...

Re: 2024 Spirit of St Louis Air Show & STEM Expo

That's a fine tradeoff. I haven't seen a -B yet, but the -C demo will probably be more extensive.

Re: Northern Illinois Airshow 2024 (Waukegan) - CANCELLED

I guess it's Freeport time. Someone told me that Freeport will be beefing up their line up to include more military in the coming years That's great news! I've had my eye on that one, but for what it is right now it's a little far for a one-day trip for me. Future military participation would chang...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion & Salute to Veterans 2024

Tri-State Warbird Museum also participating as usual. Not sure if it's just the TBM or if they'll bring the B-25 again.

Re: Helicopter demos at US airshows?

Best bet for helo action at US airshows seems to be in MAGTF and/or combined arms demos at military bases. The airshow at JB Lewis-McChord had some good helicopter action including Apaches, Blackhawks and a Chinook or two, but I don't think I've seen many true military helo demos. I'd love to see a ...

Re: Flight Line/Crowd Line Distance Question

Thoughtful responses, thank you. I had imagined Europe would be a way around the FAA rules and regulations. From what I see, military/civilian joint airfields offer the best chance in the US. I’ve seen some footage that shows that the airshow in Maine this year will be similar to Westfield, so that...
