Wow! Jim that is spectacular.

Douglas, I cannot think of anyone who has work more deserving of those credentials than you.


Thank you very much for the kind compliment, Jim and Joe! I will try my best! I still haven't figured out how to use the dual gimball setup to shoot video and still at the same time.

I was at Sun N Fun only on Wednesday, then on Thursday, the only flying F-104 Statfighter flew in, parked there for a few hours before flying back. I think it's based somewhere in Florida. It would have been cool to see something this rare.

I will have a busy airshow season this year:

Sun N Fun, FL

MCAS Cherry Point, great lineup, Blue Angels, F-156 demo, F-35 B and C demos

Naval Academy, only the Blue Angels, but it's 40 minutes drive from me.

Atlantic City: F-22 and F-35B demos, 3 hours from me, not bad

Reading, Pa, WWII Weekend, all warbird stuff

NAS Patuxent River, Blue Angels, F-16 demo, it's in Maryland, 90 miles from where I live.

Ocean City, MD only the Thunderbirds for now, it's 3 hours away from me. Have to see if they will add some performers.

Maryland Fleet Week & Fly Over Baltimore: Blue Angels and F-16 demo. It's only 30 minutes drive for me, so why not?

DC 4th of July: not quite an airshow but I expect a spectacular flyover for the 250th birthday

Jones Beach: Blue Angels, Canada RCAF Snowbirds, F-35C demo. About 4 hours drive one way and lots of tolls.

Geneseo Airshow, NY: F-22 and lots of warbirds. Kind of far from me though.

Rochester, NY: Thunderbirds, F-35B demo. Will need to think about that one, It's 360 mile from me, need to think about it

NAS Oceana: Blue Angels, F-22, F-35C, F-18 demos.


All above are day trips for me. Red Bull will thank me. It's crazy to see the same things over and over but If I just do day trips, it will only cost time and gas.

And possibly San Francisco: Blue Angels, F-22 and F-35B demos; Sacramento sunset show: Thunderbirds, Canadian Snowbirds, F-35 A demo.
