Re: Randy Ball FIGHTERJETS 2019 Schedule

July 6 Cedar Creek Lake updated, MiG-17F & T-37 July 6-7 Goshen, MiG-17F Two shows two thousand miles apart on the same day? Guess he's got a second pilot? Greg Howell has been flying the MiG-17 1613 at some shows, but I’m leaning more towards it being a mistake. The whole schedule has some ser...

Re: Wings Over Wayne 2019

Saw all of these changes, and I am pretty confused. The F-35A Demo Team has added the show as well. No way the Air Force put the F-35, F-16, F-22, and A-10 all at the same show with the Thunderbirds. The F-22 Demo Team will be at Beaufort that weekend anyway. Maybe these aircraft are flying in the c...

Re: Two Su-34's Involved in Mid-Air Collision

Still no news on the fourth pilot, but today a Russian Tu-22M3 supersonic bomber crashed while landing at Olenya Air Base near Murmansk, killing 3 of the 4 people on board. Not a good week for Russian strike aircraft. https://theaviationist.com/2019/01/22/russian-tu-22m3-bomber-crashes-in-murmansk-r...

Re: Two Su-34's Involved in Mid-Air Collision

Now it appears both aircraft crashed and both crew ejected. Two bodies have been recovered and one pilot has been rescued as previously stated. The last person is still missing.
