January 5, 20187 yr Hangar 24 AirFest is going to be a two-day event for 2018 (19-20 May). It's in Redlands, CA... Airport is KREI... runway is 4504' x 75'. https://www.airnav.com/airport/KREI Can a T-6 get a waiver to land there? They would really like one since military support is big deal with Hangar 24. This is will be a cool event. PM me if interested.
January 5, 20187 yr Good luck. Shouldn’t need a waiver to land/TO. Need it for not being tower controlled and it will take OG approval because it’s greater than 700 miles from the nearest Mx support.
January 6, 20187 yr Author Thanks for the info, Bode. That's news to me. Can't fix the 700 mile distance issue, but we will have an AF-approved Air Boss in place (Ralph Royce), and if needed, I will create a TFR so the T-6 can land/depart. Don't laugh: we did that at the Lake Havasu Airshow for the T-6 that was a static there. Side note: Ralph teaches the Air Force course at the annual airshow convention with all of the military demo teams. Everyone at ACC/AETC Aerial Events knows who he is. This show is legit.

January 6, 20187 yr Thought the bubble was 900nm? And it shouldn't be an issue getting approval for Vance jets to go out to CA, hell they went to Reno last year.
January 7, 20187 yr Thought the bubble was 900nm? And it shouldn't be an issue getting approval for Vance jets to go out to CA, hell they went to Reno last year.Each OG sets their own bubble-750nm seems pretty standard because it's one travel day each way for mx if they need to repair the jet.
January 7, 20187 yr Author Direct line distance... DLF- REI: 883 nm SPS-REI: 929 nm END-REI: 953 nm RND-REI: 1001 nm CBM-REI: 1429 nm
January 7, 20187 yr This is DLF Info. If you have an air boss and a NOTAM’d temp tower you are good. Should only need an OG approval (DLF approver) for MX support with distance. I would help if I wasn’t sitting in the ‘Stan enjoying the sights.

Some people think NTA's are the most dangerous place in the world, but they're not a big deal.

At least based on my observations over 28 years of active duty (notwithstanding some notable exceptions). Edited January 9, 20187 yr by HuggyU2

Hell, most active duty fighter "leadership" doesn't even know what an X-C is outside of an organized deployment to a Flag or to do adversary support or some other direct HHQ tasking. Giving guys the keys to the jet on a weekend to go burn flying hours and fill RAP squares was a totally foreign concept in the units I was in.
January 23, 20187 yr FYSA Texan Drivers, AETC A2/3/10 delegated full up NTA ops to WG/CCs which can be delegated no lower than SQ/CC. This means touch and go's/whatever you want. It's on the AETC/A3V SharePoint or you can PM me and I'll send it to you. @HuggyU2 Edited January 23, 20187 yr by LookieRookie
March 8, 20187 yr Author The Hangar 24 AirFest in Redlands, CA (KREI) is 70 days away, and I'd like to get a T-6 static display, as well as flyovers of any military aircraft. You can stage out of SBD (civ field with military fuel; 4nm away), or March ARB (13 nm away). Let me know if interested. https://www.hangar24airfest.com/beerfestival/ https://www.hangar24airfest.com/performers/ https://www.hangar24airfest.com/aviators/
March 9, 20187 yr Huggy, I can ask the pilots at Hemet if they’d be interested in bringing the OV-10 or S-2T over. I’m not sure how the approval process works in our organization, but I can at least ask. Being late May, Cal Fire may not allow the aircraft off base for an airshow. One of the pilots lives in Redlands, so he may be interested. Let me get back to you... SHAFT Edited March 9, 20187 yr by Shaft34
