Today NOTAM shows the 633rd CP at LFI Langley/Eustis is out to service from 0731L today until May 31.

And I apparently missed a NOTAM for ZID Indianapolis ARTCC that 257.85 is considered unreliable at or below 7000' until April 24, 2014.

Wonder what time the BUFF is gonna get there. We never get stuff like that down here.

Static and active airshow participants usually have to be there on the Thursday before weekend airshow
so that would be May 4th.Usually start arriving just after Noon on the Thursday before ..Noon to 5PM is usually the busiest for arrivals.
They like to get the big guys C-5's Buffs etc in first but seems so far the only heavies scheduled so far are a C-17 and the Buff.
Maybe AMC heavies boycotting this show but maybe not enough room as well.

Was interested in going but it's just too far. Hopefully the MDL Airshow will be on par.

Edit: Looks like they updated the site for said airshow

A lot more heavies than Langley for sure.. Maybe a Dover C-5 will sneak over as well.
Can't believe not one tanker scheduled at Langley.. Course no bombers for McGuire.. hmm.
ACC vs AMC battle? LOL Also where is Navy Norfolk NAS very nearby with any statics at Langley? One E-2D.

Okay a couple of points from someone who worked in the aviation industry. Removing the outside identification from the aircraft does not change the maintenance operations that deal with them. What you are removing is the outside appearance of the aircraft (basically while in flight). Once...
