Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
It's been announced the B-21 will be rolled out the first week in December so it rules out an appearance at Edwards unfortunately. Also a reasonably reliable source suggests no F-117 either. C'est la vie.
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
The Mig-29 doesn't seem to be on their website anymore... Ominous.
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Oh well it was exciting while it lasted...
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
In the latest 'Town Hall' meeting the spokesman said ' attendees subject to change' - had a call along these lines '....run out of tyres for unique aircraft and hard to source spares...' so maybe that's the reason
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
So one on the wish list comes true:
BREAKING: We can confirm the iconic NASA - SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy 747SP will be both FLYING AND ON STATIC at the 2022 #AvAirshow. This rare opportunity to see SOFIA up close will help showcase the power of #STEM that makes this open house so ciritical.

Has there ever been a better attended airshow by NASA?
Looks like the website is receiving an update too.

Sweet.
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
The ICAS site says the F22 Raptor display team will attend - there's nothing on the Edwards or ACC site yet though.
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
With a bit of luck they'll use the one with the experimental silver camo scheme.
Arrived in California this morning with Huntington Beach tomorrow and Sacramento on Sunday. Two weeks to Edwards big bangs.

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Flying out on Sunday... This could be 'THE' airshow of the century... I've never seen a line up/plan quite like this before.
Safe travels everyone... let's go and experience some fine memories. Good luck y'all.

Now officially qualifies as a 'regular' at Famous Dave's - El Centro
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Safe travels to everyone heading stateside over the next two weeks. I fly this coming Monday.
With so many UKAR attending, including two staffers, it may be worth a UKAR USA meet up on the Saturday at Edwards

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Tristar changed to flying and DC-8 changed to static on the revamped website. What they give with one hand they take away with the other….
Edit: They’ve swapped them back again to how they were.
Safe travels to everyone going in that direction, it’ll be an experience! We’re flying out on the 10th to spend a few days mooching around Yosemite before heading down to Mojave for Friday evening. Happy to try and meet up if timing and logistics work!

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Note that the Glacier Point road is closed so the only way to get there is hike. It's a good hike so well worth the effort. Tunnel view and the valley are all good and I'll be there on on the 10th for an all day hike before heading down to Sequoia NP then on to the sidewinder.Roger_Over wrote: ↑Sat 01 Oct 2022, 8:20 pmWe’re flying out on the 10th to spend a few days mooching around Yosemite before heading down to Mojave for Friday evening.

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Thanks Verreli, they are patching up parts of Tioga Rd as well causing 30 min delays between White Wolf and Lee Vining, and are trialling a new road priority system around the village so advising not to rely on GPS in cars to navigate. All good fun.
Enjoy your hiking, fingers crossed for decent weather/air quality. All that peace and quiet will be a stark contrast to Edwards AFB!

Small addition to the flying is Chuck Coleman in an extra 300. Apparently he was the guy that did the aero’s familiarisation for the Top Gun Maverick actors.
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
The Top Gun Darkstar mock up will be on static display….

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
NASA ER-2 has quietly dropped off the website like the Fulcrum did...
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Big disappointment; that was one of the stars for me. There are still further items not announced. Not long to find out what now. Five days to the Friday STEM show.Roger_Over wrote: ↑Sat 08 Oct 2022, 10:35 amNASA ER-2 has quietly dropped off the website like the Fulcrum did...

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Yes, the rumors were TRUE!
The Lockheed Martin Darkstar IS at Edwards and will have its world debut at the 2022 Aerospace Valley Open House, Air Show, & STEM Expo this weekend!
Designed to showcase the future, it was only right local #STEM students received the first look!
The Darkstar will be on static display all weekend long at #AvAirshow.

B2 still mentioned on the Aerospace Valley challenge coin.

You can now add the T-7 and B-21 to that list.
Re: Edwards AFB Airshow 2022
Hope everyone is ready for the show.
