Re: 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show

I'm not finding anything showing the Thunderbirds as part of this show. They're in Ft. Worth that weekend according to their schedule. Nothing on the airshow site about it. It appears that the rumor started because some social media pundit at NAS ran a poorly chosen photo from the COVID lockdown fl...

Re: 2024 World War II Weekend

I feel bad for everyone who already bought tickets and are going just for the airplane side of things.

There's two or three aircraft that I'm surprised aren't on the roster considering they're kept in the Northeast. Heck, I hadn't seem them at all last year...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

Anyone have an idea what day the schedule and map will come out for the show? According to our host, he said no later than Wednesday for both; but it could be earlier. I've seen quite a few "We're tying up loose ends" responses regarding the schedule from Schultz Airshows, which I get bec...

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

Final public USMC Harrier demo. Gotta get this up before the good videos come out. At the very end of this video, a cloud passes over and casts a shadow on the jet, in a way symbolizing the sundown of the Harrier. Crazy timing. https://youtu.be/3EEvJ1FOOok And a pic of the Blue Angels from my house...

You would never make it if you left at 8 am. I've seen traffic on the Belt Parkway back up on a Saturday or Sunday morning before 8 am.

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

I am so sorry to hear about this. I would have been angry too. This happened to me at Andrews 5/6 years ago, the lady in uniformed at the security check said my Sigma 150-600 was too big, even though nowhere on their website said anything about the lens size limit. I told her that but she just didn...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

My company is one of the sponsors and I will be there all 3 days. Live less than 2 miles away. The Friday show is always a blast seeing active duty and veterans enjoy with families and school kids. Just wish they would have vendors open and ready on Friday as well. Usuallly they aren’t open for bus...

Re: First State Airshow 2024

I also heard Cherry Point is a mess right now. Hopefully Dover is not the same. I've seen some of the comments on here and on social media. Saying that it's a mess is probably the understatement of the century. I've seen it, been there, done that many times. In my decades of airshows, both McGuire ...

You're good.

On better news, my wife and I got invited to the Friday show by a friend who is stationed at Dover. We're excited about that!

Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

I spent hundreds of dollars, drove a thousand miles, and waited in some of the worst air show traffic I’ve experienced only to be denied entry because my 60-600 lens was too long. A guy told the Marine going through my bag to have me extend the lens, and told him it was too long. I had them both co...
