p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 2015 Air Show - Must See Suggestions


The last couple of years a couple of friends and I have ventured to Wings over Houston and to Barksdale Air Force base both within 4 hours from home. This year we are thinking about a longer road trip so I am making a list of possible Air Show stops. I thus turn to FM to get some suggestions as "must see". Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are there some specific acts you would like to see/photograph? If so, what are they? There's the CAF in Midland and Alliance, north of Dallas, is a good general airshow. I like to watch this guy at our local airshow.

Not really, I enjoy all of the headliners. I guess I'm just looking to expand to shows with different backdrops than I see in Louisiana, i.e. mountains, snow, water.

I was at an air show recently near Tallulah, LA., in Mound actually. The show featured WW2 vintage aircraft as well as modern airshow aircraft. Here are a couple of shots.

REALLY depends on how far you want to travel. Abbotsford is definitely a different backdrop, and has the Breitling team and the Snowbirds this year.

closer in there's a pretty large contingent from FM (most of the regulars in the Mustangs Air 2 Air thread) that attend Alliance Fort Worth every year. This years lineup is Blue Angels and the Breitling team. It's a really well done show, and Mr Jim Wilson is a most excellent host that takes good care of the FM crowd.

It really depends how far you are willing to travel. Here is a list of the shows in North America in 2015. The F-22 just released their schedule too.

http://www.milavia.net/airshows/calendar/showdates-2015-north_america.html

For those near Washington DC area, on May 8th, they will have the "Arsenal of Democracy WWII Victory Capitol Flyover". Many many types of WWII planes on the list.

I'd like to invite y'all to come down to Pensacola Beach, Florida for the Blue Angel show on July 11. Although the Blues are the main attraction, there are other air attractions that make it a many hour event. Also they fly on Thursday and Friday prior to the show on Saturday - these are dress rehearsals. Bring the family and stay for a week. Pensacola Beach has a lot of water activities to enjoy.
