Air Show Season Soon!

Postby SeanTK » Sun Apr 11, 2010 5:44 pm

I was checking in on the scheduled roster for the World War II weekend show in my area, and it looks like they're bringing back the Lancaster, Spitfire, and some other rarities (for North America) among the usual crowd!

Hopefully I can attend on that Saturday.  :)

What shows are the folks here planning on attending?

I've committed to going to Oshkosh this year. I've already bought my plane tickets and a new tent. Next I want a new camera, I have one that is OK, it served me well at Oshkosh in '05 but I want a better one.

Aside from that there is an airshow entitled "Sound of Speed" at my local airport, KSTJ on May first and second. I will definitely be in attendance. This year it is supposed to be all about naval aircraft, the Blue Angels will be there and I don't know what else. Should be pretty good and you can expect a few pics from me when it happens. ;)

Just had our first airshow this past weekend with plenty of great warbirds. Lets see, they had the P-51, F4U Corsair, Hawker Seafire, B-25, and a whole lot of Japanese Zeros along with a P-39 for the Tora Tora Tora demonstration. That was definitely something to see! Also had a C-47 flying around with the Red Bull skydivers in it, and a legacy flight alongside a C-17.
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

I'll be at CYKF in June. Snowbirds will be there also. I volunteered to work the weekend there for whatever they need but the slots were filled by the time I heard about the date.
