Great New England Air Show

Looks like a pretty big deal is in the works (This is the 75th anniversary of Westover), maybe we can use this as an excuse to have a regional meet?

The final list of acts and displays is being nailed down as I type. I grew up in the shadow of Westover, and my Dad and Brother are involved in the group putting the show on.. so as I get news I'll post it..

You haven't seen an air show until you've seen the Chicago Air and Water show on the lake front.

I might be up for this. It's close enough.

tomk · Jan 7, 2015

I'll be there. Might be able to get food and seating VIP passes for a small number of us, or if there is a lot of interest maybe something more organized..

I'd be up for it. I thought there would more people interested, but who knows, still early.

Let's bump this and get an update. Any more going? the F-22 Raptor will be there.

tomk · Apr 18, 2015

I'm still in.. I haven't had any free time to try to set up any special services for us, but I may still be able to get at least flight-line seating .. this is a bigger event than usual, which means I have less influence than usual

Not going to make it after all. Got a 7yo grandson's birthday party to deal with. Que sera sera.

I just cut this from my schedule. I didn't hear anything so I figured it was off as a group thing. I had a chance to get VIP tickets, but passed. it's the day after my wife gets back from a business trip to Shanghai so she wasn't that excited about it.

Which will probably be louder than the air show...

Hmm, never thought of that PLUS the noise from my daughter if I don't attend.

tomk · May 11, 2015

I'll be there Saturday, but we won't have a parking area or anything so it won't be much of a car event..

But, PM me if you're going to be there Saturday and we'll set up contacts..

Enjoy! I'll be on my way to Long Island for the Memorial Day weekend air show.

I had this passed along about the Westover show from another aviation buddy:

>Due to the base's new heightened security level expect longer lines to enter the base and large backpacks and camera bags are not allowed.

tomk · May 14, 2015

weather for Saturday is heading downhill.. I'm not going if it's raining..
