Re: Season Premier 21
That's pretty much how the early ones were run last year, you had to stay within your 5m x 5m car space except for visiting the toilets or food vendors.
I don't see any reason why the May shows could not go ahead on that basis again.

Re: Marham Victor XH673
The RAF/MoD/government don't seem that bothered really by their heritage and I wonder if that's deliberate at times. They don't want too many seeing what the air force used to have or its size, compared to its state nowadays. Yes, I'm sure that's why they fund: BBMF RAF Museum Hendon RAF Museum Cos...

Re: RIAT 2021 Participation and Discussion Thread
Let’s not forget that obviously some sort of planning has taken place sufficient for the US Air Force to commit its A-10 display, and all the support to do with that, including tanking machines across, maintenance personnel, pilot commitment. It’s quite a job to commit CONUS assets to an internatio...

I had heard they only broke about even in 2019 so i think its the end of IAT Instead of relying on something you heard from your wife's mother's hairdresser who knows someone from the pub who heard that RIAT only broke even in 2019, you could just take a look at the accounts for yourself. :rolling_...

Re: Huntingdon Beach Airshow
I’ve lost count of the number of Edwards shows that have been announced and cancelled over the past 12 years since their last one in 2009. I hope this year’s does go ahead, the last one was a cracker.

Re: 48 Hour Photo Comp No 100: Get ya' Daks out!
Three from me: Firstly, Flabob Express getting airborne from its home base, near Riverside, CA in 2011. It was quite surreal to see this sitting on the hallowed turf of Old Warden in 2019, something I never imagined in my wildest dreams. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50807006413_de385d6c3b_b.j...

Re: 2010 Throwback... Californian Christmas Roadtrip!
It flew up until around 2008 or so. The cost of maintaining and operating two R-2800s vs the dwindling number of bookings CAF SoCal were getting led to it being parked up.
Tinker Belle has been the only C-46 flying in the Lower 48 since then.

A great bunch of guys at Camarillo. Sadly that C-46 has been sitting for over a decade now and is unlikely to fly again.
