Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2023

[Roadman364]

Massachusetts ANG F-15s removed from the lineup. What was once a great lineup has been decimated

The F-15 is still listed in the performers page.

Seems their website doesn’t update for everyone simultaneously. When the u2 was cancelled it still showed for me for a few days. But I see others saying it’s removed for them as well. F-15 still can be found on ground display though

How is it the London air show this very same weekend keeps adding flying aircraft and this show keeps losing aircraft?

How is it the London air show this very same weekend keeps adding flying aircraft and this show keeps losing aircraft?

It's got to be this show's reputation. Or at least that's how it was explained to me when I asked a friend about it...

I took a look at going to this show this year and said nope. Glad I did. It's a joke. Makes me wish I could have gone to London, but for now I'd like to keep my airshow feet in the United States.

No longer seeing the Uh-60 Blackhawk on the performers page, was this lost on me in previous cancellations or is this another act biting the dust?

[OwenORourke]

In watching the radar and other sources, it looks like so far the F-16 Demo team has arrived, along with 2xUH-60, CH-47F and an Aussie refueler.

It looks like retro painted T-1A 91-0086 is also inbound.

I was curious how this show was going to turn out with the removal from the lineup of some many flying acts and statics in the recent weeks, and post show there seems to be a lot of negative feedback on their facebook page. I don't think it was the worst airshow ever - but that's from my perspective as having been able to get a free parking pass, not having to travel egregiously far, and this not being the only airshow I've got to this year. I can definitely understand why people would be unhappy had they paid and / or attended expecting a lot more.

It was certainly a very light flying lineup, the Sentry flyover and seeing the AN-124 take off was the highlights on the flying side for me. Statics weren't too bad, Aussie KC-30 was a nice bonus, LC-130 was cool as never see those at shows, and although not part of the lineup, the AN-124 parked up prior to departing was also a first for me.

The back-lighting is always challenging at the show on sunny days as the day wears on, but here's a few of my pics. I kicked myself for not being prepared for the AN-124 taking off as would've been nice to catch it head on - we did get a wing wave as it lifted off though.

Nice photos! I stayed through "intermission" on Saturday and agree that the highlights were the An-124 and the E-3. I bought a ticket after the U-2 was announced (but before it was cancelled ) It was disappointing that so many acts were cancelled in the last two weeks.

The static displays were good - and I got a selfie with "Iceman" .
