The
weather at this show was easily the best for any show I have been to in
New England in the last 5 years. Lots of sun, cool temps, and no
humidity. There were also some pretty good performers. |

The
team was only able to perform a formation takeoff during the Friday
practice. It was too windy on Saturday and Sunday. |

There
were 2 versions of the Thunderbolt at Schenectady. The CT and MA
Air National Guard performed a demo with the most recent version, better
known at the Warthog. On Sunday there was a flying demo by the
original P-47 Thunderbolt. |

The
LC-130s flying out of Schenectady are the only unit in the Air Force who
use JATO on a regular basis, so the demo they perform is definitely
unique. |
