Re: Travis AFB Wings Over Solano - 16th & 17th March 2024 - UPDATED 12-02-24

Lovely stuff Roger... The KC-10 farewell moment will be poignant I am sure at Travis. Given that I understand on a sunny day we would be photographing into the sun, a cloudy but still flyable day is probably welcome in truth.

Re: RIAT 2024 wishlist.

For the 50th anniversary of the F-16 the holy grail of F-16's would be the 64th Wing Ghost Aggressor right? One can dream! No that would be an XL, or a VISTA, or maybe a Venezuelan in that camo, or an Israeli in camo, or a Moroccan in camo, or a UAE F-16E or F, or maybe a ......... And why restrict...

Re: NAF El Centro Air Show 2024 - 9th March 2024 - Updated Info 01-03-24

Just to add further, from attending Yuma last year, the static was incredibly hard to shoot there due to the sheer number of people coralled into the general public area. So as tempting as the VX-9 Harrier is again, it's more likely I will get some nice shots of the NASA T-34 here at El Centro and t...

Re: NAF El Centro Air Show 2024 - 9th March 2024 - Updated Info 01-03-24

Thanks for that update with the static Roger. There's a Q&A for El Centro airshow about 5pm UK time today - I believe it is on faceache. In a sensational twist of fortune, the road trip I am on is now likely to do El Centro show now, especially if the weather is proper sunshine. The VFA-122 TAC ...

I'm planning to attend Yuma show, despite the love I have for the Blue Angels in what would be expected to be great light for photography at El Centro show.

Re: Central Coast Air Fest 2022

Nice work Andy. It was a great show, with some magic flying moments. My first proper Super Hornet vapour cone (with a decent camera anyway), and some sublime warbird flying with ample close topside opportunities. Even a Hercules water drop. The military on static was bonkers for a show of its actual...

Please define 'climb' with a bit more context :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Never been low level in the US, and would be interested to understand if it is a climb I can do.

Re: South West USA 2024

I am still debating about whether to do Miramar show with a few days around El Centro and Yuma.

My main trip this year is in March, for Red Flag 24-2 at Nellis, Yuma show, Travis show and Luke show. Various bits and pieces in between those shows around Fresno, El Centro/Imperial and Yuma.

B-29 Doc will be appearing on both static and flying.
Good grief Andy... properly tempted now. :dizzy_face:
Whilst there was a B29 in the static at the 2019 show I attended, I've never seen one fly.
Some thinking for me to do.

Re: Air France A350m and Patrouille de France

Nice - there is an accompanying 'behind the scenes' video of 6 minutes in length too. Just as well they released that, because on first view, I wasn't convinced the 2 minute showcase was actually real. It's that sharp.

Add the F-22 Demo Team to the performers' list.
A good shout, thanks. Now added the mighty Raptor to the flying demo list. Hopefully will include some legacy moments with one of the Warbirds like they are doing with the P-38 at Yuma... And flares maybe!! :heart_eyes:

A fine early announcement there - as a sucker for legacy and Super Hornets, this is sure to be a fine looker in the Fairford skies next summer. Please bring plenty of merch! Have a good weekend y'all.
