Re: 2017 Valiant Air Command "Tico Warbird Airshow"

Attended the show Saturday and had a fun time. The Skyraider, P-51, Corsair and F-18 were the highlights of the flying for me. Great static display from Valiant Air Command as well. I didn't take many photos, but will try to post a few in the next week or so.

Re: 2017 US Navy Hornet Tac Demo Schedule

For those of us who aren't literate in the unit designations, which schedule is Hornet and which is Super Hornet?

Re: Selfridge ANGB Air Show & Open House: Celebrating 100 Years of Selfridge

Great news on the P-39! I will never pass up an opportunity to see that in the midwest. I'm still kicking myself for not being able to stay late enough to see it fly at Oshkosh this past year. I figure the Yankee Air Force fleet will probably be on hand as well, even if they're not flying in the sho...

Re: 2017 USAF A-10 Heritage Flight Team Schedule

Kind of odd that ACC is sending the A-10 to Detroit June 24-25 and nothing to Selfridge or Thunder. I would have thought one of the other shows would be a better venue. Kind of a bummer that neither of those other shows got anything. Not complaining by any means, just think that was an odd choice ou...

Re: 2017 Valiant Air Command "Tico Warbird Airshow"

According to the Cavanaugh Flight Museum airshow schedule, they are bringing the AD-6 Skyraider to the show. Their site doesn't mention the B-25. Whichever it is, always good to have warbirds. I've got approval to use a personal day to travel down early before working in Orlando for the week, so it ...

Re: Favorite Airshow Performer/Performance

Although it isn't a regular performer, the Collings Foundation F-4 Phantom is easily my favorite.

Among aircraft that are regularly touring, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Avro Lancaster tops my list.

Re: 2017 Valiant Air Command "Tico Warbird Airshow"

Looks like there's a chance for me to get this one. I'll be in Orlando for work from the 11th - 18th and if I get clearance to head down on the 9th, I will be attending. Any advice on the best place to sit to be close to start-ups and get good taxi photos?
