Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021

I'm assuming the static displays will be available from the time the parking gates open until a set time to help expedite the arrival/departure process, as well as allow the aircraft that are on static display to fly. That just means we're going to have to be there right when the parking gates open ...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion Salute To Veterans

Last two.

If the night run of the TBMs is going to be an annual event, I will have to make it an overnight trip next time. That would have been cool to see!

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion Salute To Veterans

This show has the absolute worst luck with weather. I got up early, decided I was stubborn and dumb enough to make the drive despite the forecast and went anyway. I didn't know about the cancellation because I left at 7 a.m. That was kind of a surprise, but I got directed to park in the remote lot t...

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion Salute To Veterans

Can't wait for Saturday! Lineup looks awesome and I'm glad to see the Hellcat is still slated to attend. Looks like a 40 percent chance of showers, which isn't bad, I just hope the ceiling is high enough for some flying.

Re: TBM Avenger Reunion Salute To Veterans

A PBY would be great! It's been ages since I've seen one fly other than the arrival of the Canadian Warplane Heritage example at Oshkosh a few years ago. I was hoping Tri-State Warbird Museum would send the FW-190 but it sounds like they're sending the B-25 with the TBM, which will still be cool. On...

Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2021

I personally don't care about drones of any size, shape or performance, but given the seeming rarity of public appearances, I'm assuming the MQ-9 will cause some excitement. Selfishly, I wish Oshkosh would move up a week. I have an annual commitment that usually falls during Oshkosh and limits me to...

Re: EAA Air Venture Oshkosh 2021

AFSOC aircraft announced. I'm sure a lot of people will be excited about the MQ-9. I will personally miss these unless they arrive earlier than Thursday. https://www.eaa.org/airventure/eaa-airventure-news-and-multimedia/eaa-airventure-news/eaa-airventure-oshkosh/05-06-2021-wide-range-of-us-air-force...

Re: Sound of Speed Open House & Air Show 2021

The idea that any camera lens is a "security issue" for any show is laughable, and I don't even have a DSLR.
