Local news here (NY/NJ) reported (with all the accuracy that they are known
for) that there had been a midair between two of the planes and that a missle rail had been knocked off one of them. The remaining performances were cancelled. This was on last night's news. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) "Paul kgyy" wrote in message oups.com... http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...l=chi-news-hed |

: Air shows are intended to get people interested in signing up for the military. No. The reason that the T-birds, Blue Angels, etc. perform is to get people interested in signing up for the military and to try to increase military funding, not to mention being a form of propoganda. It is not the reason for most airshows. What about Oshkosh? Do you think that it only exists to get people to join the military? |

I have performed at that airshow.. long before Miegs was closed.. we had to
keep the bird up north on the Navy base and they used Miegs to helo us back and forth. Could not fit the bird into Miegs. BT "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com...

It was just a Tribune article explaining that the Tbird show was
shortened on Saturday and canceled on Sunday because a fiberglass missile rail was knocked loose and fell into Lake Michigan during the Saturday show. The assumption was that 2 planes had slightly touched but the air force is investigating. I think this was also covered on either aeronews or Avweb if you want another source for the story. |
