My favorite event at the airfield every year! We had a great time and we're happy to meet some of you at the F-100, A-4, and F-4 display that we had setup! Since I have a crew pass, I was able to go into the warbird area during the time that it is closed, and get up close to a good number of the warbirds as they started up and taxied out. Which includes our Me-262! Big thank you to ‪@LoneStarFlightMuseum‬ for letting me look around inside their B-25 before they started up for the show!

It was so fun working for this event, I am in the commemorative AirForce and was in it during this airshow, and it was SO FUN. Thanks again for coming to this event, and keep ‘em flying!

Can't keep us from the airshow! Not like we have to go far either, just a short tow out to the ramp.

That NC8 brought back memories. Those things would do about 60 across the ramp. 😂 Thanks for the video!

That Detroit Diesel always fires up for us, though ours does not go that fast. Glad you are enjoying them!

Great show. What a pleasure to see the F4 again.

It was a great show. And it was awesome to have the aircraft out, both for people seeing them for the first time and veterans reconnecting with them!

F4-C crew chief, 36 TFS Yokota Japan/Osan Korea, 1967 to 1969. It was great talking to you and getting to see the F4 up close again! Hard to believe it is the only flyable F4 in existence. Thanks for all your work!

Our pleasure, glad you enjoyed her and the show! Unless there are some flyers at the Boneyard, she’s the only flyer in the country.

Man, I don't even know where to start. Awesome video! The ME-262 flight was beautiful, the tour on the B-25, all the warbirds... and the Skyraider. The only thing that could drop bombs, fire rockets, strafe the bad guys, shoot down MIGS... and haul passengers and cargo 😂! I hope our favorite girl can tear the skies on next year's event (sooner, if possible), to show the other jets who's boss! Thanks for sharing it 07.

I myself hadn't realized how tight the space is in the Mitchell.

@jorgemachado7784 8 ай бұрын

Me neither. It's just a little bit comfier than a slightly crushed sardine can. We really can't imagine it by just looking at the airplane from the outside.

Our peasure, glad you enjoyed the show and the video. I picked up some new camera mounts for the GoPro, and I’m looking into a different camera with an optical zoom for next years show. And yes, hopefully our phavorite Phantom will be phlying soon!

Very nice! Some of those old birds look familiar. I wonder how many are from Planes of Fame in Chino, CA? I LOVE the sound of those old radials at low idle. YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

@DieselThunderAviation 8 ай бұрын

That's a good question, though one I don't know the answer to. They looked great, and I also love the sound of those big round engines!

@jesselo1969 8 ай бұрын

Well we stayed late after the show and was going to head back your way but my son wanted the Thunder Birds pilots autograph and the cops came by and rudely thru everyone out..😢 ... 😂, It's was an awesome show nonetheless!! That Skyraider Demo was killer, got some good pictures of the F4 too as we arrived. Keep up the great work on her and hopefully.....

@DieselThunderAviation 8 ай бұрын

That would’ve been cool, stinks that they started chasing everyone out afterward. The pilot that flew the Skyraider, also flew the Mig-15 (Saturday), and the Me-262 (Sunday).

Yeah, they do a great job with that Skyraider! First time I’d been up close with a 3350 starting up too.

Nice video. I would have liked to have seen more of the Phantom and maybe talked to some of the folks looking at it. I posted a video a couple of years ago called WHO from the cockpit. It was from Christopher's go pro. I took it and did a poor editing job. It's a little long but you can fast fwd.

That whole weekend was a blur. I’m gonna try and capture some of the Phantom veterans getting up close and personal and reconnecting next year!
