Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Ernest,
The KC-135 at the end with the 2 A-10's was that late Friday say around 6:30-7:00 or so?We were in Cheektowaga going out to supper and saw a tanker in the distance with 2 other planes.That would make sense what we saw.

Re: Great Lakes International Air Show

And the FB and Twitter links at the bottom of the pages go to defunt GLIAS2016 pages. It's very strange but they just don't seem interested in trying to put on a show or promoting it

Not to mention the constant upgrade programs and maintenance they need.Look at the age of the B-52 and C-5 .They probably require a lot of maintenance as well as the B-1 which apparently costs a lot per flight hour.B...
