Dover AFB Air Show - May 2022

Last Saturday we went to the Thunder over Dover air show at Dover AFB. It was stinking hot, but we had a great time at the air show! It's rare for the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels to perform at the same show, but we got a treat this weekend!

The B-2 looks like it is from another world, but it is actually from Whiteman AFB, Missouri.

This C-47 flew on D-Day and is now owned by the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport on Long Island. I've been a volunteer at the museum for many years, although I guess I'm more 'inactive' these days since I don't live on the Island now.

They teamed up with an Air Force C-17 for the USAF Cargo Heritage Flight

Super work, John. Really well done. That #2 shot is as good as I've ever seen of planes flying that maneuver. As you say, it's rare to see both of these teams performing at the same show.

Very nice set, and nice selection of Aircrafts

Wonderful! Especially liking #4, with the Blue Angels just above the parked Thunderbirds. Perfect timing on your part to get that composition! 👍👍
