fantasy airshow
 

hello everybody,if you could have your very own back garden/yard airshow with 10 different planes -what planes would you choose? display teams can count as 1 ..........

id like the thoughts of il2 pc sim players aswell

I'd have the Soviet's finest mixture of fighters and bombers..

Yak-1, Yak-3, La-5, La-7, MiG-15, Il-2, Il-4, Il-6, Yak-15, Tu-16

P-51, P40, Spit ( any version ), a mossie, Me 109, Fw190, Me 262, WW1 ac...spad, sopwith camel, fokker d7. if i wanted to see any soviet stuff i would just go to SA's show,,,lol

a couple of good shows,il bring the beers
ok my fantasy show is... sopwith camel -fokker triplane(red)mock dogfight
spitfire mk14 -fw190d mock dogfight
mosquito ,corsair,
vulcan, english electric lightning ,sr71 blackbird .....red arrows

saw it!! was awesome! going thru old 8mm films my dad made and hope they are in there. will post if so. but back in the 60s the guys from rhinebeck airdrome came to the local airshow...with several planes. ya know there is nothing like a merlin, throttle to the wire and winding out flat @$$ screaming by 6 feet from the deck....but these AC were incredible. check out this site...

http://www.oldrhinebeck.org/

and dave....bring spiced rum..never got the taste for beer.

An-225, Concorde, Vulcan, Harrier, Constellation, B1, B29, Lancaster, Mosquito, Hurricane.

Does the BBMF count as just 1? (Battle of Britain Memorial flight, Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane)

I'd take i nthe following order -


Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Hurricane



HAHA, in all seriousness though id take the following, To start the days flying and to get things underway -

Red Arrows

Avro Vulcan

F14 Tomcat (always loved this plane)

P51 Mustang

B17 Flying Fortress

Panavia Tornado

De Havilland Mosquito

FW190A

HE111

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The final act of the display would be a victory roll by none other than the Hawker Hurricane :D

well id have all the japanese planes that ever exisited in ww2 and get the red arrows to make a show using the latest technolegy it would be unbeliveable what they could do with an f22. id also have any pacifc based american ww2 aircraft

me 2 ,fighter meet at raf north weald with gun sounds over the pa -great stuff
i have been lucky enough to see 9 of my 10 over the years,except the 190d .

rum!whoa there ,i wanna be able to see the show

a big bottle of sailor jerry would do just fine

Hmm...i gotta say an CF-18 Hornet, a F-35 VTOL, Avro Lancaster/Spitfire/Hurricane/Me-109, P-51D, SNOWBIRDS!, F-22, Sopwith Camal.

That my friend is called variety...secondary would be B-52, AN-225, A-380, F-4/MIG 21, A-10A's (3 of em just for kicks), Avro Arrow (If possible :D) B-17, BLUE ANGES!

So some tinfoil, a bunch of trainers, an F-22 and some flying blue armor. Sounds ok to me :D

oo thats 20 planes my friend,its a fantasy airshow so avro arrow could be resurrected,nice plane
firebrand wanted the an225 too,thats the mahoosive russian transport isnt it ?

great shows so far

lol:-):lol:

...and a brute it is too: http://bit.ly/9FkuFJ

Ok,
In no particular order.. (I'd have it going from noisy to ears bleeding.. so the Vulcan would probably be last!)

1. F-14
2. F-15
3. F-111
4. Phantom F-4
5. Eurofighter
6. Spitfire
7. Corsair
8. Lancaster
9. Vulcan
10. FW-190

Thats why i said secondary my friends. Who knows, how bout day 1 day 2.

And yes, the AN-225 is the biggest heavier then air flying machine ever built.

they bring an AN-225 into pittsburgh airport once a year. have no clue why but that is one FREAKING GIGUNDA ac. very impressive.

You guys are boring lol Now this is FANTASY!

1. TSR2
2. Martin Baker MB-5
3.4.5. Concorde, Tu-144 Charger(Concordski), Boeing 2707 SST. Formation flight with imposible low level supersonic flybys.
6. Me163 takeoff to landing/crash
7. Be-2500 Neptum. (AN-225? pfff thats tiny)
8. Tu-95 Bear. Witness the word LOUD!
9. Then forget it when you become a victim to the XF-84H Thunderscreech and the sound of continueous sonic booms from its props
10. If you are still conscoius, my show ender would be a Buran Shuttle launch. (Be-2500 was the piggyback ride for the Buran)

Your a little too obsessed with those fake non-existant planes...but i like. I searched all of the ones i never heard of up.

All three of em' anyway.

P51D (bubble canopy), P38, P40, P47D(razorback), F6F Hellcat, F4U Corsair, Bf109G-2, FW190A-9, Spitfire (any model), A6M Zero

there are still alot of others i'd like to see

2. Lancaster
3. Mosquito
4. Vulcan
5. Concorde
6. Apache
7. SR-71
8. Lightning
9. Red Arrows
10. Something from HyShot- the scramjet program!

nice gilly,beer or rum? It is hard getting it down to ten but interesting to see peoples tastes in aircraft

You're right, my selection wasn't fantastical enuff!

1. The Dragon out of the Hobbit.
2. X-wing Fighter
3. Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper memorial flight (Old version with dirk Benedict flying it)

6. Slave 1
7. Imperial Tie Interceptor
8. A-Wing Fighter
9. Milenium Falcon

:)

Make it a cold one!!
And yeah damn hard getting it to 10. I've tried to stay patriotic but sadly both the SR and apache are so out there I had to include them. Sadly though it leaves no space for the A10's, F15's, eurofighter, lynx, guppy, fw190, me109, vampire, hunter, valkyrie, e3 sentry or such wonders as the ekranoplan!!

Looks like the ekranoplan design was borrowed from Gerry Anderson's Fireflash:

nice selection Winny
The only things I'd add are:
the liberator from blakes7 and the Xbomber from the 80's kids show Starfleet!

1, spitfire, 2 lancaster, 3 hawker tempest, 4 p51 d, 5 mossie, 6 bristol beaufighter, 7 blackbird, 8 tornado gr1, 9 eurofighter, 10 f 16 fighting falcon

1. Blue Angels in F/A-18E Superhornets fly a high show and remain aloft. Since MC-130 Fat Albert is part of the Blues show, C-130 JATO takeoff and acrobatic demo to start things off.
2. F4U Corsair acrobatic demo, F4U - F/A-18E heritage pass with Blue Angel lead solo.
3. F-86 Sabre acrobatic demo
4. P-51D acrobatic demo, 2x P-51D - 2x F-86 Missing man formation.
5. Hughes H-4 Hercules low level flyby, because that’s about all she could manage.
6. Ka-50 Hokum acrobatic demo and live weapons test.
7. Sopwith Camel acrobatic demo, perhaps a low-level pass with the Ka-50.
8. Sukoi PAK FA acrobatic demo, slow pass with Sopwith.
9. Bell-X1 subsonic demo with B-29 drop.
10. Horton Ho-229 V3 acrobatic demo.

most impressive mckinney as i knew it would be,not sure about live fire at an airshow,might just be me making noises thru a megaphone
i had a good chuckle at winnys list

Oh but why not, live fire all through the crowd would be much safer than the immediately preceeding Spruce Goose flyover/ crash.

Be sure to keep the canopy open on the Tempest when starting her up. Don't want the fumes to suffocate the pilot before taking off!

Really, a PAK FA doing a flyby with a Sopwith!? You do know, that even a Spitfire with a Griffon and more powerful Spits, have a hard time flying alongside a Sopwith. The pilot of the Spit has to pretty much fly on the edge of falling out of the sky! While the Sopwith pilot fly's at max throttle. I don't think that'd be a very good show for the people, when a multi-milion dollar jet falls.

You could use blanks?

I would think it viable given good pilots in each. I am fully presupposing PAK FA performance on par with an F-22. At a recent real airshow I witnessed an F-22 come to a dead stop above show center at high angle of attack with full thrust vectoring. The same F-22 made a high angle of attack pass at roughly 70 knots before doing a few cartwheels, making a quick expresso for the crowd, finishing my taxes, and running off into the heavens. Add into that equation a Sopwith pilot peddling for all he's worth, and you have a sight that would surely bring tears to my eyes.

We need the USS ENTERPRISE from star trek :D

When I mentioned the Xbomber from Starfleet little did I know my childhood dreams would be so smashed to bits- I never realised Kenny Rodgers was their boss!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExC6O...=youtube_gdata

but I do know where tarrantino got his inspiration for Jules in Pulp Fiction.....Go Barry Hercules!!

Throw in the ship John Boy Walton flew in Battle Beyond The Stars too. The only spaceship to feature a set of jugs. Must have been about aerodynamics

No war rocket Ajax?
"Gordons alive?!"

1. Super Star Destroyer
2. Angel Interceptor
3. Twin Pod Cloudcar ("turn left" "no you turn left")
4. Fireball XL5
5. Thunderbird 2
6. Nostromo
7. Barbarellas Rocket (hanoi jane optional)
8. USS Reliant
9. Moonraker 5
10. The Cygnus

i want to see the flying sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea..the series. i actually had this model and the one of the sub.

Just to give you an idea, for the challenge, skip through to about 4:50 in the video. I'm not saying what you're thinking would be impossible, but since we don't know all that much about the PAK FA yet, and its capabilities, I'm not so sure that the PAK FA would be so capable of flying along side with a Sopwith.

Spitfire & Camel

of course blanks that sorts that, in fantasy airshow land dreams can come true so i think what mckinney is asking for is fine-a small detail.
theres no wrong answer to my question -its all good

HMmmm depends....invite all the people you dont like and strafe them. what could be more delightful than screaming in 20 feet off the deck in your favorite warbird pressing the trigger and helping cleanse the gene pool. NOW that is a fantasy airshow....sorry a little sick humor.:rolleyes:

Now that's funny.. I hadn't really looked at it like that before. The best actor in that film was John Boy's mole. I must have watched it almost as much as I watched Star Wars as a kid. I loved it. Then the VCR decided to eat it one morning..

Didn't they use special effects out of another film in it?

Yeah it was a favourite of mine too. I never realised until a lot later it was a remake of The Magnificent Seven with a space setting.
The special FX were reused in Space Raiders a couple of years later. It was a Roger Corman film and he was famous for streching his resources.

I believe James Cameron and Bill Paxton worked on this film set dressing and special FX and thats where they met. So Hudson fans owe this film some respect!

whats the sci fi film where a bloke has to talk a speaking bomb out of going off ?

That's Dark Star, John Carpenters college project film. It had a beach ball alien in it which actually was part of the inspiration for Alien. The script writer Dan O'Bannon who wrote it thought it would be good to expand on the idea with a scary alien.

Ok my scifi inner geek is showing now!

A great film for its tiny $60,000 budget.

ahhh Sybil Danning!!!.....

I'll buy that for a dollar!

lol some of the fantasy stuff faaaaaaaaar too much time on ones hands................. but some awesome selections :):)


the airshow stuff epic selections Dave 10 just aint enough, you start to think and a fair few more pop into you're head!!!!

5. Mosquito
6. Harrier GR3??

4. Lynx doing some aerobatics
5. Apache
6. Hind

10. Red Arrows

For a more modern air show, I'd include these.

Fighters

MiG-15
MiG-15bis
MiG-19
MiG-21
MiG-29S (Strictly air-to-air, with very limited unguided ground attack capabilities.)
Su-17
Su-22
Su-27
Su-33 (Just an SU-27 but with folding wings and used by the Navy. Kinda like a F-14 Tomcat or something similar.)

Bombers

Tu-95M
Tu-95KD (Fitted with air-to-ground missiles for better defense, and more modern avionics, etc.)
Tu-160 "Black Jack" (Like a Soviet B1 but with better range and payload. Also more reliable in maintenance.)
Tu-119 (A varient of the Tu-95 Bear, but only reached prototype stage with seeing if a strategic bomber could last when being powered by a nuclear reactor!)
Il-28

That's pretty much it involving Soviet planes. I'd throw in some odd balls here and there, but those would be my main attractions.

propellor aircraft

short sunderland
AVRO shackleton
Hawker Tempest
Boulton paul defiant
Hawker fury

jet aircraft

Bae Lightning
Hawker hunter
Gloster meteor
Folland gnat
Gloster javelin
Tornado GR1

SEPECAT Jaguar mate ;)

SR-71
Spitfire
SEPECAT Jaguar
Phantom
Valiant Victor and Vulcan (together)
Buccaneer
Supermarine Swift
de Havilland Venom
Lockheed T-33A
North American F-100 Super Sabre

My fantasy airshow
 

10. MIG 29 FULCRUM
9. P-38 LIGHTING
8. A - 10 THUNDERBOLT
7. P-51 MUSTANG
6. F-14 TOMCAT
5. PANAVIA TORNADO
4. JAGUAR GR1
3. F/A 22 RAPTOR
2. B-17 FLYING FORTRESS
1. A-6 INTRUDER
My favorite planes of all-time pretty much in that order A-6 is the best I think I would have been a great A-6 pilot ... having your Co-pilot sitting side by side is a HUGE psychological advantage then to just being able to hear him one of my all-time favorite fighter plane movies is Flight of the Intruder..... flying tree- top @ night totally defensless to take out a bridge or SAM sight and then back again talking with your best friend ( i would assume since he is your co-pilot ) man what a RUSH !!!

Might visit my local aviation museum at Norwich Airport. Where else can you sip tea under the wing of a Vulcan bomber?

Now that's the puppies croutons!

Attachment 2253It's like an aircraft graveyard.

v nice, some classic planes there,i like it a lot firebrand

Why make it a fantacy when you can see the real thing by driving a few miles...

yeah i try to go to conningsby every year as it is only an half hours drive from me

I've been going to Chino every year, since I was a kid. I even have a little jar of money that I put away for that very occasion. I was really excited three years ago when they said they were working on a Yak-3, which would be flyable in the coming years. And this year is it! Last year they just had it static I think, and didn't have an engine in it, but this year they've got it up and ready to fly!!! That's going to be my most waited piece of the air show this year. I've never seen one actually fly before, so this'll be SO cool. :D :cool: Man, I'm so excited!!

BAE or BAC Jaguar is prefered. The french screwed that plane bad since dassault bought out the french half of SEPECAT (Breguet) and then prefered there own Mirage F1 over the Jag. French Jaguars were thus shit compared to the british ones which had many updates. BAC bought the sole rights to the jaguar around the late '70s. Jaguar is a British plane! ;)

lol thanks for clearing that up thought i was going mad :cool:







Brigg - ive not been to the airshow :( just a visit round the base, was in the ATC (Air Training Corps) had a wee sit in the Phantom and a Bucaneer trainer :D

Cheers Davedog. Nice shots Gilly and Scotty.

Thanks F1re :)

yes,very nice gilly and scotty
