A "Nifty" Way to Watch the Barksdale Air Show from AviationBull - Where pilots go to shoot the bull... by Jason - If you weren't in Shreveport last weekend, then you missed out on some great acts and static displays at Barksdale Air Force Base's Defenders of Liberty Open House.

Oh yeah, they also had those "other" guys who fly blue jets out of Pensacola.

At the 1999 California International Airshow, Wayne's Saturday performance was perfect and a great crowd pleaser. On Sunday, Wayne experienced an engine failure below bailout altitude and was left with no choice but to fly the Turbo-Raven into the ground.

I'm Off to "Biggin on the Bump" for a few days in June The following is a personally satisfying excerpt from a review of the 2005 Air Display (air show) at Biggin Hill, the famous, Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Fighter Station South of London.
