I'd love to get there one day too. I'll just have to settle for Nellis next year.

My hearts bleeding for you Zaph

Nellis, Luke, Davis-Monthan, and Yuma. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to comfort myself for missing RIAT.

Plus all the other private airshows you get on the road

a reply to: Woody510

With luck, that's almost over with.

I take it the aircraft spotting along the routes will be the only thing missed?

a reply to: Woody510

God yes.

Although it makes sense, first time i spotted a ballon on the system.

a reply to: EartOccupant

Interesting. That's the first time I've seen a hot air balloon listed. I've seen other balloons, like Aerostat and Loon though.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Yup first time here as well, It makes sense though

I guess (private) drones in 5 years... ?

For heliport type operations, but that's about it. And even those will be very limited use.

Catfish is in play. She went from St Louis to Edwards today.

Got a fly over my house today.

They came over the first time, but i was too late.. But as usual they came back.
The first one i missed. My cellphone shaky footage does not do it justice, but got some shots.

According to ADS it was a mixed nationality flying over. I guess NATO.

A While back i was asking if there would be flying any 6 prop engines around... After seeing these in the vid, i'm thinking i might have been confused with these 4 prop planes with an additional pod in the middel ( fuel tank i guess )

They did a combined flyover to commemorate Operation Market Garden. C-130s from multiple nations, a C295, and a C-47A were all involved.

a reply to: Zaphod58

tnx.

Yeah thanks, i did see it on the news just now. They also dropped around 1000 paratroopers.

We got a lot of those memorial type flights around here, as i live somewhere between the bridges from "a bridge to far"
They did some para droppings as well. Sometimes they take the veterans along with the jumping.

Here some impression in Dutch:

They're also continuing with SaberJunction18, which should be ending soon.
