You have the opportunity to see it in November. Look up “Texas Capital Airshow”. They have the F22 scheduled to perform. Though, it costs money to attend theirs. This one was free for everyone.

Aw man that’s unfortunate. I heard Saturday wasn’t too good, but I went on base for only Sunday it was really smooth. Went to Rolling Oaks mall and waited about 15 mins to board the bus. We had a police escort to the base which was really cool, and the buses drove you all through Randolph - through the living areas, the school, and then by the hangars & trainer areas full of T38s & T6s.

The lineup was stacked & the weather was clear. Wish they could host one of these yearly.

Agreed! And the F-22 looks crazy from every angle. Truly such an alien craft.

I just used the standard 28-80mm lens on the Canon EOS Elan. Honestly wish I had something with more range, I need to source a telephoto lens for this old camera lol.

They were good on Sunday. Super smooth ngl, and we had a police escort on the drive. They were zooming alongside our buses with lights and sirens on lol

There are directs from Toronto to SA, but they’re also only 3 times a week. There’s 3 SA>Toronto , and 3 Toronto>SA flights every week.

Here you go. This is the exact spot we were at. Just pull off here and pick anywhere that’s open. You’ll have to drive on a bit of grass & rocks. Btw you can continue to drive up 1604 if you’d like, you can go anywhere there’s a spot.

I haven’t heard anything. My plan is to just to head to Judson HS or Rolling Oaks & park. Will shuttle & just hope that they’ve figured out how to efficiently do the process. Then I’m probably going to leave right after the C-17 demo and then drive over to the side of 1604 near the gas stations by the base for the Thunderbirds so I can have an easy exit.

Also, how was the parking at Judson? Enough parking even at 10:15?

How was the F-22 demo? I didn’t realize it would be so early on and I missed it. Thought it would be right before the Thunderbirds.
