Through the combined efforts of AirshowStuff and our friends at This is Flight, we bring you Military Airshow Action 2019 – a nearly hour long look at some of the most interesting and unique military airshow performances during the year. The collection, narrated by Adam Landau, takes you to both sides of the Atlantic for jet noise, vapor, and Gs. Watch the video below, or follow this direct link to watch it on Youtube proper.
The best news? This video is only part one! Later this year, we’ll be publishing part two which focuses entirely on rare vintage warbirds like the P-51 Mustang, F4U Corsair, and more. Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel so that you don’t miss it!
