Quonset Air Show anyone?

Today and tomorrow. We went last year. It was a blast, pun intended.

Welcome the the Rhode Island National Guard Open House Air Show Website!

Today looks like the better day weather wise. I'll post up pics after.

Good time today. Last year was better though. Only one P51. Last year there were three. No Mig either this year. But it was still a good day.

Seaplane Fly In

Here is another one. This one is geared toward seaplanes not jets but is still a great weekend. They do a lot of competitions with the planes and it is a pretty good show. If you like hanging out by the water and watching planes that is. Plenty of craft booths for the to do some shopping and fair/carnival food for the kid in all of us. Located in Greenville Maine. Endless dirt roads to go . I have been going since I was a kid. Ok, at 33, some here may think I still am a kid.

Many of the same performers it looks like. Too bad you have to pay to get in. The Quonset show was free. We had the F-18 fly over the house a few times today as well as the Thunderbirds in formation. I guess the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds swap every other year. So next year we will have the Angels. Put it on your calendar. Its FREE!

[My wife said no FJ!]

Been a few years since we had one in Montreal

The best time to hang out at the airport was a couple days prior and aft...you get to see them all fly in and out!! I remember the last show my wife and I showed up when the F117 was coming in...this was when the F117 was still relatively unknown...man that bird was quiet!!! Hard to believe it shared the same power plant as the F18!!!

...but it has been a few years since we had one in Montreal

We had the Snowbirds at the show last year. Sorry to steal them from you. Crazy to see 9 planes in formation.

I had a co worker come into work on monday looking like a lobster. Ask what happened he said he went to the air show.
