Mayhem Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well, a little good news for me given current occurrences. Just found out the local airshow is next month and there will be an F4U there. Also a B2, P-51 and F104 Starfighters, how freakin' kool is that?! http://www.wsairshow.com/performers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kira Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Apparently those Starfighters are something to see, or more to the point, hear. They have this signature display where they can run the engine (J79?) at a particular setting and get a one of a kind F-104 sound to it. Aircraft with two J-79s like the F-4 apparently can't get the unique sound. That'd be neat to see (hear). And the rest of the lineup is awesome too!

2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 29, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Given the starfighter is on it's way out, it could well be your last opportunity to see one in the air. Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would called them "widow makers" in those times. It was fun to watch them take off and land and taxi right were we were working.

Mayhem Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Looks like they just added a Skyraider to the lineup, though I don't think it will be flying in formation with the P-51s. I can't confirm if the pilot will be French or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
