Stuart FL 2024 Airshow

Mon Nov 11, 2024 7:37 pm

This last weekend was the 35th anniversary of the Stuart FL Air Show.
List of warbirds static and performing, TBM, BT-15, C-47, T-6, Corsair and Mustang.
But of note were some of the current military aircraft.
50th anniversary of the F-16 displayed in the colors of the YF-16's first flight.
This was also the final season of the A10 Demo team, and this was their last performance.
So, a couple of interesting things going on.

Some photos below.

As a former member of an A-10 unit, it will be sad to see them go.
A great air show aircraft, could do a great display in front of the crowd.

Hopefully someone one can get one as a warbird....someone imported a complete Tornado F2 and plans to fly it, so I'd guess anything's possible.

In comparison, the A-10 is inexpensive and "green" to operate. No one overseas operates them, so there isn't a black market for parts.
Hopefully, someone will have the political juice to pry one out of D-M.

Excellent shots Bill! That was one heck of a lineup they had for the show, as far as the military demos are concerned!

Very sad to see the A-10 go.

That's a Cuban scheme. Which immediately took out to me as well.

No idea to whom it belongs.

The Mig 17 was flown at the show by Tony Remudo.

These are great, thanks for sharing them. Never saw that MiG before either.
