Anyone going to any air shows this year?

If so, how about posting some plans or thoughts and maybe some of us can meet up and enjoy some THUNDER together!

Nothing like a F16 so low and fast hyou are covered with carbon being blown out of the afterburners! (yep, it happened) Frightfully enjoyable!

Lookin at Detroit myself (and perhaps Muskegon MI) this summer...

Thunder over michigan is lining up a slew of B-25s (those rough idling mothers!)...

That's pretty far off my graze, but the prospect of all those Mitchells make me drool! (Where's "Pacific Princess", I wonder?)

Years ago I had the privilege of taking a ride in "The Yellow Rose of Texas"! Talk about an eye-opening experience, especially when the pilot decided to make a low level pass over our farm near the airport.

I took a few days off this week. Thursday afternoon down at the beach with Mrs. Combat to watch the Thunderbirds practice for the NY Airshow which is this Saturday and Sunday at Jones Beach.

Today we went down to the beach at around 9:00am to spend the entire day with our 3 little batlings and a few of their friends to watch the rest of the practices. Saw F-18's, A-10 do a flight with an F-86 that was just awesome, got to see a pair of B1B's for the first time ever (amazing seeing them 8 engines buzz the beach with afterburners on and wings swept back. Another first for me was seeing the Lancaster fly. Tomorrow and Sunday is the full show and we are planning to get down there early Sunday to watch it.

Tomorrow at around 11am I am taking the youngest batling down to Republic where all the planes are flying from. Should be a great time to park on the side of the road by the runway to watch the T-birds and all the other flights leave for the beach.

Nothing better than an airshow! Here's the link for the details if anyone close enough to Long Island is willing to make a last minute trek.

Here are just a couple of the pics I grabbed at the fly in day at a local airshow last weekend.
Was too busy aiming etc. to notice that the B25 had the bomb bays open, or that they were chucking watermellons out.
