I am making my first visit to the Westfield MA airshow in the end of August. I was surprised to see F-5 Tigers on the list for flying acts. WOOHOO! Never seen one before! :D I sure hope Dean sticks with the plan and brings his F-100! :o

Hi Nathan,

Thought you would be going to see the Tora Tora Tora act.

Great line-up! http://www.westfieldairshow.net/
Never seen a B-2 before, or a Jet Out-House :roll:

Phil

Nathan, from what I see on the show website it appears that the F-5's are static only, but if the Super Sabre remains firm as a flyer at the show, that is reason enough for me to be there.

:D

Hi guys!

Looks like a WIX gathering is coming together! :D Yeck, I'll make you all a WIX badge too!

Glad some WIX'ers will be there. As for the F-100 thats my main reason of going. But hell if there is just a 10% chance of it being there thats more then I'll probably get the rest of my life seeing a F-100 fly. It will be my first time. Looking forward to that "BOOM!" when the afterburner is lit on the F-100. I heard it startles a lot of people! Sweet! :D 8)

Now that is the question, will it be a flier. I might be willing to make the trip, but I can see static F-100s elsewhere.
