From Deb Mitchell at ASB:
Meanwhile, if you happen to be at Aviation Nation on Friday or Saturday, we'd enjoy saying hello. Just post a comment here or send us a PM to get in touch. Gunner, Lawndart, Panther, Ray, and Whack will be attending this year's end of the season show by the Thunderbirds, and we'll also spend some time with our alumni and good friends on the VPJT.
If you're in Vegas, we'd enjoy meeting you too!
Cheers,
That's really too bad for everyone hoping to catch some of the flyin' via streaming video, but at least it sounds like the Aviation Nation Foundation will have it back for 2010. I'd recommed following the Aviation Nation 2009 thread at the ASB community boards as pictures will likely be posted by some of the faithful ASB photographers throughout the weekend.Deb Mitchell wrote:Chuck Ramey, their PAO, said there are no plans for a broadcast this year, but they hope to have one in 2010.P39crew wrote:I haven't seen anything about the airshow if it's going to be on the internet like last year. Does anyone know if they will be a live stream this year? Since I can't make it this year I would love to watch it.
Thanks, Scott
