I grew in the Air Force. My dad was a B-17 pilot during WW II and was shot down over Germany. He spent 2 years as a POW. After the War he stayed in the Air Fore and flew just about every multi-engine plane the Air Fore had including the B-47 and the B-52 in the 50's and 60's when all of the problems hadn't been worked out. He was Colonel and the commander of Clark AFB in 1971 when he died unexpectedly on active duty. He was only 51 years old and at the time I was a Captain in the US Marine Corps. at the time. My parents were the best any kid could ever hope to have. I miss them both now that I'm 78 years old. Every time I see a B-52 I remember my dad.
RIP bud. Sounds like an amazing Dad. Here in UK mine worked on the Vulcan bomber as an apprentice during his University days in the 50s. Closest my family come to aircraft, although I fly RC models today. ;) Aircraft are humanities greatest invention. Cannot wait to go to Oshkosh one day.
Kudos to the 20th FW for choosing that great throwback scheme on the demo Viper! Whoever had the idea is my new personal hero. Very cool to see the YF-16 fly again.
I was stationed at a Strategic Air Command base in the Air Force, seeing the B-52, or as we called them BUFFs again brought back memories. And my time among them was in the 70s and 80s. That they are still flying combat missions nowadays is a testament to their design.
I'm glad to see the Viper Demo team made it! I had seen them in the ready shack at the end of the runway at Shaw last week as I was passing by on the highway.
@@williamhudson4938I stand corrected then, the guys in the parachute shop at Ellsworth told me 42'. But that was back in the late 1970s. Maybe they got bigger
One of the things I miss, I used to work for an airplane factory here in SE Wisconsin. Loved when the EAA fly in was going on because some would fly in to take a tour. I got to see some awesome planes
Been attending with my son for 25 years… unfortunately had to miss it this year🙁Saturdays day / night shows are the best . A small malfunction with the fireworks show last year but great none the less !.. I guess I’ll have to settle for the Milwaukee air & Water show this weekend. Great videos!
I was playing golf in East Texas a few weeks ago and a Barksdale B52 flew over full flaps and slow. He wasn’t going towards our airport so I imagine they were just practicing slow flight.
I just got a 4 engine start up of FiFi B29 at Dupage airport on 7/19 wish I could of followed her her to see all the awesome stuff . Great videos guys and keep them coming
The B-52 must be a very hard aircraft to stop. All those airfoils out in the wind for drag and it still needs a chute. I bet they really heat those brakes up too.
Ya'll do the best videos. Love the sound of the B-52 at 3:15. I used to live under the glide path of Carswell as a kid and heard that often. ( Along with an occasional sonic boom!
Absolutely love your Aircraft Arrivals videos, best stuff! Hearing all the planes is music to my ears. Favorites: #1: Cessna 337A Skymaster (N31LC) in US Navy paint #2: USAF F-16 in General Dynamics YF-16 paint. #3: USAAF Boeing B-29 Superfortress...shiny!!
I understand that it’s sometimes hard to go from having to expedite a final to getting the ground, but the airplane isn’t gonna stop flying until it’s ready.
First one was a very unique little plane and rough on landing same with the second plane rough on landing third one was really cool the b52 was awesome and the small military trainer ones flying together were cool the f16s were amazing especially the one in that red white and blue livery was it the b29 or b17 that was cool
Just saw the viper demo at thunder over Michigan. Good thing they got the 50th Anniversary scheme working bc they had to use their other one bc the controls acted up on it
I wont be there until Thursday but man im so excited!! I've never been to the EAA AirVenture!! I saw Skip Stewart perform in Wings Over Wausau and I cant wait to see him and so many others in the airshows!
That first one, wowwiee! Never too late to wave off and try it again. The F-16 duo landing wasn't near as exciting as the 2011 version I saw. The way the 2nd pilot did a Duke's of Hazard jump over the last ramp exit when he realized he was out of runway before his lead hadn't cleared it yet. Turned to the dude next to me and said "Wow, I never knew you could get more dirt in and F-16 then I can in my F-150". I was glad the guy was ok, hope he didn't lose his career after that.
B52 take off/landing and their flaps are just astounding... So flat on takeoff/land and the flaps are just massive - I am always shocked by how big they are/need to be.
I grew up on Langley AFB, Virginia during the mid seventies. My Dad was part of the F-15 deployment. I remember seeing Y/F-16 & Y/F-17 aircraft flying around during that time. It's nice to see an F-16 in it's testing and development livery again. I remember watching the evening news of Saigon falling to the Northern armies. Everyone was terrified. "The Russians are Coming!!! Russia Russia Russia ! ! ! . . . . that hasn't changed much. But, we were just kids, Jet Fighter planes are cool, and those are some great memories.
That last B-29 gave me chills. Having seen the Enola Gay at the Smithsonian several times, it just never gets old. That plane ended World War 2. And man, the sound of those GE-F110's on the F-16 was just thrilling. Get used to that sound, Russia, you're about to hear it all day in Ukraine.
Was that the original YF-16, or just an F-16 with the original paint? I thought the original was not in flying conditions and preserved at Virginia Air and Space Center. I saw it there several years ago.
Hola soy Daniel de argentina me ubiese podido ir pero bueno el año que viene estaré x alla que nivel de aviación muy bueno todo súper buenísimo Oshkosh 2024..
@@chriscarter9254 Thanks. I was wondering the same thing. One of the world's most widely used aircraft, aka the Beechcraft Model 18. I had no idea and been into aviation my whole life. They quit making it the year I was born in '69.
13 years ago I moved to Duluth, MN, to pitch building a Cirrus all electric plane and even an electric jet. We could fly the prototype down to this airshow, take people on rides several times a day, silently, with no fuel cost at all because of the solar film on the wings (and my 'Eelectrick' organic film ultralight batteries) We would get more orders than even the newly cloned factory in China would have been able to handle, changed general aviation forever. Some of the designs are up online and so now in the Public Domain - because all i got for the efforts was being banned from all Cirrus property, and men sent to end my life. I had to live for ten years, ten hellish winters, in a mini-van just to stay alivE!
Hey just wondering if there are any pilots that i can split the fuel cost with and would be will to fly my down to Oshkosh airport i live in muncie ,IN 47338
Hoping to attend for the first time next year. How do you get approval to become one of those folk who wear orange jackets and stand around gawping at the planes and getting in the way of the poor paying souls in the crowd trying to take photos?
Thanks you so much for NOT posting any annoying, irritating, loud background music. The music from those engines is all we need. 👍

Retro YF-16 paint scheme #1! Absolutely brilliant.
Love the B-52, I watched them fly over the Mekong River on their way to Cambodia regularly in 69/70.
10:21 seeing the F-16 in the original paint job is even better than I thought it would be! 😃
😅
Seeing that fly, especially in the 4 ship Heritage flight was one of my biggest highlights for my first trip to OSH.
Wish I could’ve gone this year but i’ll be counting on this channel to keep up to date.
You and me both...
I was out there all weekend and yesterday. And i still rely on this channel for the things i missed
Sad there was a death on the first day. Rip
2 deaths actually. 😢

Sir, they are still called BUFFs to this very day. I think it is safe to say that name will never change.
I was a fireman at Goldsboro in 1966, they definitely blew my ears out.
Cool PacAero Tradewind conversion of a Beech C-45 !
It never get old watching a B-52. Been thrilled with them since I saw my first one in NE Montana in 1964.
That F16 is SHARP, I’ll be there Wednesday and maybe this weekend too. Great video!
Nice landing by the B-52 pilot and I've seen them land hundreds of times
Beautiful sequence.
I'm glad to see the Viper Demo team made it! I had seen them in the ready shack at the end of the runway at Shaw last week as I was passing by on the highway.
To lend perspective to the size of the B-52, the drag chute is 42' in diameter
And it needs 275,000 feet of runway to land :)
@GamingWithMaddog64yes I know that, worked on B-52s
As a retired Crew Chief on B-52s, the diameter of the drag chute is 44 feet. Maybe check Google next time.
@@williamhudson4938I stand corrected then, the guys in the parachute shop at Ellsworth told me 42'. But that was back in the late 1970s. Maybe they got bigger

Awesome! My Father worked for SAC , moved to three different countries following the B-52 .
That Viper Demo team has got the best job in the world.
The b25 was circling my house today it was pretty cool

Great filming, thanks!
that Tradewind is in a perfect color for that beech
Nice to see the mighty B-52! A real screamer.
Okay! Oshkosh is just another level of event!!! Absolutely the most beautiful mess in the world!

8 P&W engines and the massive size...yeah it's pretty hard to stop.

Did that first experimental have SuperBalls for tires?
Awesome love the red and white f-16
Loved the BUFF and looking forward to hearing what the Rolls-Royce re-engine program provides!

These were the arrivals on Sunday before AirVenture started.

11:01 the F-16 looks so happy lol

I saw Skip Stewart perform in Wings Over Wausau and I cant wait to see him and so many others in the airshows!
B-52 footage starts @ 02:35. Its' final approach for landing starts @ 03:55.
Incredible! We'll be there Saturday and Sunday and are so pumped for the B-52's display and departure on Sunday!
I saw the f16 viper demo team on saturday, they put on an incredible demo at thunder over michigan, as well as the navy west coast rhino demo team!
My father in law is a veteran as well, towards the end of his career he did promotianal stuff for the Thunderbirds.
Who else came here for the BUFF?
Coming in a little hot !!!
They seemed to be afraid of the ground??????????!!!!!!! lol B29 looked great!
2:06 - Beech 18 Tradewind Conv. - a very neat and rare bird. 230mph cruise @ 70% power vs the 225mph top speed of the original.

Man those Navy F16’s were pretty cool.
When did the Navy start flying F-16s?
@@russvoight1167The Top Gun school has a few, but they're the only Navy unit I know of that operates any.

Very cool with the B-52, we couldn't get them to land at Madison because of the outriggers. We get them at March since it's an old B-52 base.
Great to see Shaw AFB represented!
Thank you!!
Nice job as always....I wonder why they sent a Buff from Edwards and not Barksdale or Minot?
Yeah. I wondered that too. I hope somebody has an answer.
Yf-16 my dream catch those would have been some amazing lighting pics I could’ve gotten😢
I feel so bad for the ATC

Those first few planes my god, who passed them on their check rides
cant wait to arrive on wednesday to sunday
Those F-16 pilots just won the skies. Fantastic fly pasts and long flared landings. I fly RC and damn that is difficult! Ok, mine is made of foam...
Awesome stuff 👍. That first landing attempt of the experimental aircraft was pretty sketchy.
Which plane is that @2:15 and @5:25m The turquoise and white radial twin? It looks like a Beech of some sort.
Standard tail version of the Beechcraft Volpar.

Simulator is much easier than real landings lol.
I was supposed to fly in this year but I couldn't find a plane in time :(
I was sitting around 5 ft to the right of this camera. I can hear my goddamn voice in the clips 💀💀💀

Thank you for the video!!

What model and year is the turquoise and white plane? 2:09
8L guy flew over my house was awesome
Id go see the f22 anyday thats some crazy shit obviously not on any of these clips but if you can go see it!
I wonder how long it takes to learn to "not flare" on a B52 if you've been flying a more traditional large jet?
Was that fi fi ?
Mega comp when?!?!!
What days are the Viper gonna be preforming?
I believe one is Wednesday, probably wrong, schedule is on the EAA website
Why did it take 3 attempts by the F16's to land?
Pretty sure it’s just a demo
Showboats
Pictures.
Pretty sure they were practicing touch and go maneuvers
Do we know why those f-16's went around 3x?
For fun.
Do you use a tripod for filming ?
Nope, all hand held!
That first plane looked utterly unstable.
Goddamn I want an f16
