shepp Posted August 16, 2024 Report Share Posted August 16, 2024 Works been insane long story for a different time. I was able to get away to go to Oshkosh this year on Wednesday July 24th. I’ve been many of times as a kid and an adult. This year may have been the best one I’ve been too, I got to see the A10 demo team (their last year of flight sadly), the f35 demo team, the f22 demo team (that thing is retarded! It does shit a jet shouldn’t beable to do!), the Canadian snow birds stopped in, the blue angles did a fly by on their way to Fargo, and there was a thunder bird and a f16viper demo team fight. Also got to see the only flying Lancaster bomber flying in NA and a spitfire and hurricane fly which was a first for me Oh and I got to stand at the flight line and watch the Duluth air guard do Preflight check, pilot gear up and start up of an f16 taxi and then take off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted August 28, 2024 Report Share Posted August 28, 2024 (edited) Truly awesome...great pics...thanks for sharing! Edit to add, I was at the Willow Run airshow a couple years ago and the Thunderbirds did the distraction passes and maneuvers to set up the crowd's attention followed by the low and come from behind flyover pass flipping on the afterburners. Takes you by such surprise and rattles your spine! Oshkosh is certainly the Mecca of airshows. Edited August 28, 2024 by Doodle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat next to an Aussie I made friends with, he told me it was his first American air show I’m like OH you skipped D league and came right to the World Cup! He also said after 80,000 people stood took off their hats and sang the national anthem “I fucking love how much you yanks love your country!!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
