Props & Pistons 2022: America's Anti-Mollis/Zeltweg

The A-10 theme photo thread compelled me to revisit my images from this event two years ago. Some air shows are as reputed for their stunning scenery just as much as the quality of their air displays; the likes of ZigAirMeet at Mollis and Airpower at Zeltweg spring to mind, and, perhaps to a lesser ...

Re: MCAS Yuma and Travis AFB shows, plus a bit of El Centro practice (pic heavy!)

Nice overview. Particularly liking the Raptor flare shots from Travis; proves that shooting into the sun isn't always a bad thing! And those F-5s... \m/

Well there is a piston engined military schemed Tracker flying at an airshow this weekend.
One of many stars that will be flying! Such as a Neptune, Caribou and Consellation.
Last time I checked, Australia is quite a distance from Gloucestershire...

Re: Luke Days 2024 - Luke AFB Air Show 23rd and 24th March 2024 - Updated 09-02-24

Typically, when two ACC demo teams are at a show together, both aircraft will participate in the Heritage Flight. Nine times out of ten, the warbird is a P-51, but West Coast shows seem to get a bit more variety, so might be something different.

Re: Central Coast Air Fest 2022

Facing into the sun seems to be a common theme at West Coast shows - although your F-35 image proves that it isn't always a bad thing!

Excellent set. The P-38 and Dauntless are real beauties, and I really like the TBM/Corsair shot.

In terms of modern mil, notwithstanding the RS C-130 mentioned above, there is (or was) a USAF C-17 kicking around with them, too.
Still is! Hopefully it makes the rounds at public events this year...
