TLeo Posted November 13, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2016 Anybody else make it to the Veterans Day airshow this weekend? Still going today but I made it down yesterday and had a great time seeing a bunch of old birds still flying. It was a bit windy and started out quite cold but warmed up and lots of clear sunny skies. 1st up is "Whisky 7", a C-47 that actually dropped paratroops at Normandy.(I believe from the 82nd if I recall correctly) Next up a rare C-46....they were going to have troop drop from this C-46 but it was too windy.....

Art Posted November 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted November 15, 2016 My wife & I went Saturday. Took a ride in a Huey & that is always cool to do (literally cool Saturday morning). Was disappointed the wind was too high for the paratroop demo, but can't control the weather. Hopefully I can see it next year. Nice show & we enjoyed it and will go again next year. I especially liked the Avenger, but my pics of it didn't come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they waited too long to try the jump as the wind died down after lunch and then picked up again as it got late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
