Sun 'n Fun 2023: Airshow Highlights

Awesome airshow, A shout out to my father whew made it again wiyh his vintsge comache 250

That looks awesome 👍✌️😊💜

Just between us girls, let’s not get excited by the short take offs of them cubs and the chinook. The video doesn’t show a wind sock and without telling us the wind speed if the wind is above 10 kn every takeoff will look spectacular. Above 25 and you dont need any ground roll. There are two give aways about wind…..the American flag (for you modern progressives, that’s the one with the stripes) is fluttering….and, notice the very high angle of attack right after takeoff. That high AOL is possible only because the plane iis entering greater wind at around 20 feet. Then the pilot pitches to less AOL because wind from 50 feet and up is constant.

The takeoffs are impressive but not spectacular

Glowing orbs in the sky! Top stuff!

Those lit up para gliders at the end must have been cool to watch!

Why do you put a rap music sound track on an airshow when it should be engine sounds?

Thank you, AVweb. Fun to watch the STOL aircraft.

Cool!
