It's amazing to me how much less bulky and cumbersome the space suits are. I can only imagine some of the U2 guys look at those and thinking wishful thoughts.
I was able to message with one of the guys who will be flying in the event last night, for anyone interested.
Show center will be the WW2 memorial, he said anywhere on the mall will be good viewing, apparently the list of participating aircraft is still growing and is getting larger than what is listed on the website.
I've been to Oshkosh five times flew in myself three of those times, always got the yellow dot π.
A 250 warbird flyover though would even top Oshkosh
Anyone have any insider info on this event, I know it has been pushed back to September.
Generally wondering if it will be worth the trip to DC, possible best viewing locations,etc.. It sounds like a once in a lifetime type event, Oshkosh on steroids

I actually met him once at a speaking engagement at Del Smith's museum in Oregon.
An incrediblely quiet and humble man that only told the story so others could learn from it.
Fair skies sir. Rip.
The problem with trying to sell that watch on an AF forum is that it looks like it has Navy wings on the face.
I would try the navy site, they have a tread just for watches as well.
Just a general question on the F35
I have noticed in just about every photo of the F35 taking off that it is always in full burner, is that amount of thrust needed for takeoff or just the pilots preference?
I am surprised no one has mentioned the new Godzilla yet...
I thought it was a fun 2hrs, typical Godzilla and stupid humans but overall fun. Plenty of Ospreys in it and a neat B-2 hybrid that stretches belief, then again we are talking about 100 foot tall radiation breathing lizards.
I would actually say this is less of a motor racing movie and more about corporations battling each other for dominance in a market.
Should actually be pretty cool if they don't wander to much with hollywood liberties.
CVR FDR circuit breaker pull
Post flight debrief to mx = something wrong with CVR.
Mx resolution = pilot stupid, cb popped
Smiles all around..... or so I've heard ππ
They tried this once before, I always thought it would have been a good ac.
What is everyone's thought and obviously this is purely hypothetical at this point but if the YF23 had won would MD still be in business as MD today?
