Cherry Point Airshow, 11-12 May 2024

This will be the last USMC Harrier Demo. It's a Level III Demo, which I'm told means it will do the full hover demo too.

End of an era...

I’m flying my 172 down from Michigan, we’re having a reunion of the A-6 squadrons that were stationed there. Mostly enlisted side I think, old fat guys getting hammered.

Can't make the show, Was down there for MCATA reunion last Oct. Old fat guys trading hernia and colonoscopy tales was the reality, My getting hammered days are a thing of the past. My wife said she felt like she was on the bingo bus with the senior citizens.

The Missus was willing to hang out with me at least, The area has really been built up since 1990. Some of the old staples remain like the rip off Ford dealer at the main gate and the Sherwood Motel.
*Edit* She commented that she felt like she was on a bus full of senior citizens going to a bingo game on the base visit.
