• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Luke Open House

Unfortunately I have to work, but I have seen a few planes flying overhead the last couple of days.
 
Well, I went on Saturday.
What a mess. I thought I would go early and got there about 1/2 hour before it opened. Had to stand in line for over an hour. The security check was something else. Talk aout overkill! I mean, do you really have to check the cash in your wallet? People were turned away for the littlest thing, like a diaper bag for the baby. I know there needs to be a security check, but this was ridiculous.

Highlight for me was the F-22 and the heritage flight. Good to see an F-4E and the accompaning noise back in the air. Also enjoyed talking with the Singapore F-16 crews there.

BTW, the demo by the Red Bull Helicopter was unbelievable. Didn't know helicopters could do those things
