Portsmouth Air show this weekend 8/13 and 8/14[views:1709][posts:12]______________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 10:28am - the_reverend ""] http://www.bostonportsmouthairshow.com/ anyone going? I have yet to see many planes. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 10:29am - the_reverend ""] http://thunderbirds.airforce.com/ the blue angles are there this year, it's the thunderbirds. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 10:34am - Alx_Casket ""] I went a couple times a few years ago. Didn't get very hard. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 1:50pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Not as cool this year. Only fighters are F-16's and F-18's. I want to see (or see again): A-10 F-15 F-22 F-35 B-1B B-2 |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 1:55pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Also, a few weeks ago they had a few more cool static displays listed, like an F-15, F-22, and some humungous cargo planes, but they all dropped. Air shows suck this year. RI was shitty, Maine looks shitty, the NY ones look shitty. Even the NAS Oceana show in VA beach looks shitty this year. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 2:00pm - Alx_Casket ""] The AC-130 I saw last time I went to the RI show was awesome. The rest was meh. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 8,2011 2:23pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Did they blow shit up? How could they? I think the most I've heard of is A-10's doing a simulated attack demo and firing blanks from their 30mm GAU-8's at a choreographed pyro display. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 9,2011 10:50pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Now I want to see an A-10 again. I remember seeing them flying all around their home base in Tuscon, AZ a couple years ago. Shit was crazy. I didn't realize their guns were the size of minivans and shot incendiary rounds the size of pringles cans at 70 per second. |
