There are many excellent
websites available that have air show photos available. However,
my research has shown that there are no other websites that are
dedicated to purely focusing on all of the warbirds at an aerial event,
as others will include civilian aerobatic and military aircraft or don't
do warbirds at all. This site documents all of the warbirds that
attend a show, fly-in, or open house with photos of each. This includes not only
the bombers and fighters that normally get photographed, but the
liaisons, trainers and transports also.
Epilogue for 2011:
2011 was a again good warbird year for me, with a total of 22 events
attended, which includes warbird displays, airport open houses, pancake
breakfasts, and of course airshows, which were only 12 out of the total.
Nine of the events attended were in Indiana, where I live, with the
Indianapolis Air being the show I book the warbirds for.
Also in 2011 I added three military bases to my goal of seeing an
airshow at all of the Military Air Bases and Stations in the US.
They were Tyndall AFB, NAS Fort Worth JRB, and NAS Oceana.
Mike Sciffer making an entrance at the
Watervliet, MI Warbird Fly-in on October 9, 2011.
Paul Wood doing a down and dirty pass in his
pristine Douglas A-4 Skyhawk at The Wings over Waukegan, IL Airshow.
Four Ship Legacy Flight at The Waukegan Air
Show 2011, September 10.
F-18 Super Hornet pushing the Mach at Wings
over Waukegan 2011. The water vapor can not get out of the way fast
enough on this high speed pass.
Not a warbird but a shot of Fat Albert taken
from the Tim Horton's south of the Willow Run Airport while heading home
after watching the great warbird show at Thunder Over Michigan 2011.
We left before the Blues flew as to not get caught in traffic and made our
traditional stop at the restaurant to pick up some donuts. For the
true warbird aficionado the best part of the show was over at this point
and getting photos of Fat Albert wrapping himself around our location as
he set up for the high speed pass was a bonus.
B-17G "Chuckie" making a pass at the Hamilton
Airshow. After many years of not flying "Chuckie" is now back out
under the ownership of the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA.
Also back out on the air show circuit is the
rare C-46 Commando "The Tinker Belle" now operated by Warriors and
Warbirds in Monroe, NC
B-29 'Fifi" making a special unplanned flyby
at the NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base Air Power Expo 2011 on Sunday,
April 17, 2011.
The Heritage Flight at the Salute to the Gulf
Air Show at Tyndall AFB on March 26-27, 2011.
