Alliance Air Show Review
« on: September 28, 2003, 09:03:14 PM »
Went this Sunday....

All in all excellent but you could tell a reduced military presence. Blue Angels were great as always. Has anyone seen the historical commerative flight. Was a P38, P51, and F16 in formation....almost brought a tear.

That ORACLE plane was way cool as well. Had tickets to the Flight Line Club which is a great place to watch the show.

Rogwar,

Had a commemorative flight at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson this year. There was an A10, P51 and a F15. The stang sure looked small up there with them. They made the formation flying look easy for 3 passes. :)

We were there Saturday. Loved every bit of it. Especially the F18 demo. We had a Flightline table as well only way to go.

Did the F-117 make it on Saturday? It didn't on Sunday.

I am thinking of going to Dayton next year.

I dunno Rogwar, we missed the first hour of the demonstrations, and the schedule saturday seemed to be running ahead about an hour.

Toad, it was a Cavanaugh Flight Museum 51 I do believe.

I believe the P-51 was this one...

I talked to a friend who went on Saturday and the F-117 didn't make it then either. They didn't have a B-52 this year as well.

How did you like the 777? I fly on those a lot!
