Real World Aviation Spotting

Hello, everyone! Today I was provided with an amazing opportunity to spend the day at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, MA for the Great New England Airshow. More information about it can be found here:

From where my family and I were positioned, we had a great view of both the performers and the static aircraft. Here are some of the pictures I captured:

Thank you! The show was great! The weather was perfect (80 degrees, thin cloud cover), so my skin didn’t get singed from being outside for 7 hours. Going into the static aircraft was amazing and surely an amazing experience!

Nope, it was “aircrewlife”. I forgot about “theglobemaster” being you favorite.

Both of them are my favorite. I just recognize AirCrewLife with the 767. But you’re absolutely right, he pilots the C17 as well. Much respect for our service members. 🇺🇸

@DeerCrusher Have you ever rode in the C-5 Galaxy. It’s even amazing that they can even fly. @Bobby great photos of the air show.

I have not. Got to tour a few but never got to fly in one. Love the engine sounds on takeoff though. 👌🏼

Great pictures! I was visiting my great aunt in Springfield around this time last year and we could clearly see/hear the planes, and some of them flew right over her retirement home.
