Jacksonville is having their Sea and sky spectacular this weekend. Gonna go get some pics and vids...
Anyone else like airshows?
Why? Or why not?

 

In the immortal words of Butthead, "Airshows are Cool".

 

We're gonna have an "air show" at Ocala this year too!!!! We're gonna set SickPuppy and MasterBlaster at opposite ends of the parking lot and have them "fly" past each other at 90 mph.

Heee heeeeee heeeeeee heeeeee.

 

I have a major fasination for flyin machines. Used to go to the local Air Show at MacDill A/F Base every year. Haven't been to one in quite some time though. I've been wantin to check out that Fantasy of Flight place, but haven't got around to it. Looks like they even have something going on there the same weekend of the Rally! Maybe we could get a group together to ride out and check that out. It's somewhere between Tampa and Orlando.

 

The P51 Mustang is the one flying machine I always get a hard-on for! Like the man in the video says.. it's just one sexy machine. The one I fly in my MS Combat Sim the most. Wish I had the opertunity to learn to fly the real macoy. I'd give up my bike in a heartbeat for a chance to fly a Mustang!

 

+1 Greg...I have had a fascination with airplanes since I was a little kid....been by FoF several times but never stopped in...could be a definite ride idea for the rally...it's located here....

I had the opportunity to spend the weekend at the Dayton Airshow this summer.

I guess that my "Fantasy of Flight" would have to be the U2 spy-plane.

Ride in a U2 to the edge of Space

 

Wow... just wow! That was absolutly incredible. When the guy got an itch I could almost relate. That's what would happen to me. It was too funny how he used his feeding tube to scratch it... Thanks for that link, Bob.

 

the passenger said that it was "rather humbling" .....I found that to be an understatement...absolutely incredible is correct....thanks Bob
and to think those planes were first flown 40+ years ago

 

I made a pretty good air show in the crapper this morning.
