Warbirds Over the Beach 5/19-5/21
Warbirds Over the Beach 5/19-5/21
Welcome to the 2017 "Warbirds Over the Beach"!
Join us the weekend of May 19-21st, for a trip back in time to the memorable days of the Second World War. A time when everything was much simpler..
Travel to Virginia Beach, alongside the bright sunshine of the Atlantic shoreline, where German submarines once hunted merchant ships in the Gulfstream waters. Look up in the sky, where you will see fighters and bombers of our armed forces patrol the countryside to protect our homeland from the Axis forces.
You will experience all this and more during the weekend before Memorial Day with hundreds of re-enactors, actual warplanes of these times and entertainment reminiscent of the 1940s.

Due to strong cross winds the planes wasn't able to fly today. But they did taxi onto the runway for us to get some photos! Here are some of mine using my iPhone 7 Plus.

Thanks Jim. And, nice iPhone photos.
This superb event started Saturday with ideal conditions.
Then, at show time bad weather blew in with overcast, an excessive cross wind, and a brief rain shower.
Crowd enthusiasm hung on. Airshow management quickly put together a ground taxi display of the super stars. That also gave us more time to take in the ongoing extracurricular activities.

Good day today. Everything flew. The JU-52 broke during start up and they had some issues with the FW-190 so they were the only ones that didnt go up. weather was ok but love being so close to the take offs and landings.

This was a superb, full featured event.
Sunday weather was better, but still overcast.
