Some Airshow Photos

Postby mojoman58 » Mon Feb 04, 2013 1:56 pm

Hello, I'm new on this forum and have been enjoying myself learning new things about FSX and seeing some really cool photos & screenshots. Thought I'd give it a try and post some pics I took at an airshow at Pease Airbase in Portsmouth, NH in August 2010. I'll post one first to see if the size is correct and if you guys don't mind I'll post some more later. Thanks.
Mike

Lucky for you to see the Angels, now that Obama has done his deed against airshows, nobody will see them in 2013...

Luckily you still have the pictures!
In Airman Online I read that the cutbacks on US defence not only affect the Blue Angels, but also de USAF display team.
Here (in the Low Countries) airshows and especially military displayteams have suffered under cutbacks during the last decade.
I wonder whether this is the case in other countries........

It's not the presidents fault... It's congress, the didn't do anything to avoid the sequester. It's all congressional tat would prevent it, but since everyone hates each other in congress your not going to get anything done.

Sad to see how air forces world wide are cutting back their display teams because of budget problems. Over here in South Africa the Silver Falcons (flying since 1946) were also grounded at the end of 2012 because of funding. They started out with DH Vampires then moved on to Texan T-6 Harvards, Aermacchi MB-326 Impalas and until their grounding, the Pilatus PC-7 MkII's. Their support aircraft, a beautifully restored DC-3 TP, was also destroyed after crashing in the Drakensberg mountain range during their 2012 season, killing all onboard. Both images here to follow:
