I've even been to a one-day extravaganza in Durant, OK. Now I get customer training flights of helicopters from Bell and an endless stream of light aircraft.Īctually, I say that, there ARE small shows going on all over the place. NOTHING! Even my daily lunch outings to the end of the runways at KAFW, but even the frequent training flights filled with AT-6 II's and F/A-18C's from NAS Fort Worth have all but ceased. In what is SUPPOSED to be the PRIME time for aviational spectatorism, there's NOTHING. Come March, anticipation of the first show of the year builds and builds to the bursting point, like an addict needing that 'fix.'īut NOOOOOOOOOO.
In the spring, I watch intently as the military teams ramp up and hone their skills in their own preparations for air show season. I'm PISSED because, essentially, I HAVE to BE bored. Y'see, this little governmental mis-step called 'Sequestration' is fucking with the way my life pattern works.ĭuring the winter, I prepare for air show season.
