WAR BIRDS and Legends Air Show TOPEKA Kansas

Postby Jetranger » Sat Jul 13, 2013 3:27 pm

I plan on attending the War Birds and Legends Air Show in Topeka Kansas August 2 thru the 4th 2013 at Forbes Field.

I Will be taking my Camera and Video Equipment with me to shoot lots of photos and Video,, which hopefully I'll upload to my YOU TUBE Channel and give ya'll a link,,,

Gonna be a lotta Vintage Birds there and propliners !! flying in from all over the country and world !

The only way I WON'T GO, is if it gets ungodly Hott up in the 100's and beyond,then I don't do well in that extreme Heat for long periods of time and I'd be miserable and probably sick, because back here the Humidity coupled with the heat make for a very very uncomfortable day ! Actually unbearable, that and being around the hot concrete and asphalt it would be miserable !

We'll see how the weather plays out, hopefully we'll get a cool front move in and drop the temps down into the 70's or 60 be better but highly doubtful in August here in the Midwest part of the US.

Heres the War Birds and Legends Link !

Go for it, JR. It is only money. And your money at that, not mine. :D

Actually, I really did check what it would cost to go there. Plane, rental car, hotel, food, etc.

It was all do-able except for one part.

The wife.


She would have to go with me, or she would go on an all expense paid (by me) shopping spree back here. :lol:

As of right now, its looking like I'm going to the Vintage War Bird fly in Air Show , so far anyway.

Weather seems fairly favorable for the weekend, with Temps in the 70's and lower 80's.

I'll be taking my HD Video Camera with me and shooting as much footage as I can that's worth while, then I'll edit it in my Video editor software program and post it on YOU TUBE for ya'll to see.

Now I don't do cheesy 2 and 5 minute videos, I try to have em' at least 30 minutes to an hour or longer with actual real Sounds too, NOT drowned out by goofy music I hate that, seeing a decent video over shadowed the entire length of the video with some kind of crappy music nobody wants to really hear anyway.

Soon as its edited I post the link to the YOU TUBE video on Simivation.
