With heavy amounts of inspiration from @Brody_Swiatek’s Oshkosh event, I’ve decided to go ahead and try it out for myself, photo credits to @Kamryn
So, where is this, when is this, and what is this about? I’ll answer those one at a time.
Location: This event will be held at Whiteman AFB in Johnson County, Missouri. If you don’t know where that is, it’s about 61 miles east of Kansas City, Missouri (70 miles by road). Some of you know it for being the only AFB to house the B-2 bomber, and some of you recognize it by the 303rd Fighter Squardron’s livery on the A-10 in IF.
Date & Time: This event happens Sunday, August 23th, starting at 1700z and ending 2000z. If you don’t have your UTC conversion chart out, don’t worry! It’ll be held at this time based on your time zone: 5:00:00 PM until 8:00:00 PM
Reason: I wanted to hold an event where we can admire the beauty in IF’s military marvels, from the A-10 to the KC-10! In my opinion these aircraft are underrated and deserve as much attention as commercial aircraft do. To add on, Whiteman AFB is one of my favorite underrated airports as well, as I’ve been there a few times and think it’s a great place IRL and in IF!
With that said, let’s get to the details.
Server: To allow for acrobatics, this will be held on the CASUAL server.
Airport: Whiteman AFB / KSZL
Time: 1700Z - 2000Z / 5:00:00 PM until 8:00:00 PM
