THUNDERBIRDS! (With Cockpit Comms!) 2024 California Capital Airshow | Full Demo

Sound in that intro was awesome!

[@aerospacehorizons]

Ha! Thanks for the gear recommendation!

[@CamelVBA]

Really crazy atmosphere here with the heavy cloud cover! Looks wild! Love the comms!

[@aerospacehorizons]

Yeah it was really weird looking. Combination of it being 6pm, with high clouds. It was really windy and even rained ever so slightly too. No idea what was going on but it ended up looking cool!

[@Mikertt]

Thanks for the great video. I was there for both days over in the Flightline Club seats. Thank goodness for the clouds because it was almost 100ºF when we arrived a little after 4PM. The second day stayed hotter since there were no clouds at all. Did they have a normal ground show this time around or nothing special?

[@aerospacehorizons]

They just got in the jets with no fanfare. Hardly anyone was over there watching them taxi out. A bit weird the way they had it set up. Thanks for watching!

[@VAF_Airshows]

I wonder why they set up this unique configuration. Also, since they set up all the "free" seating on the right half of the show line and all the paid clubs on the left half, I was able to get very close to show center point.

It also rained briefly during the demo.

Great which scanner you using?

[@aerospacehorizons]

Bearcat 125AT!

@@aerospacehorizons recently ordered one myself were u using stock antenna or a custom one

[@aerospacehorizons]

@@bmezay2003 I used a SRH77CA SRH77 antenna. But beware that had a different connector so I needed to get an adaptor for the 125. There may be a better antenna that has the correct connector from the start.

What is the beeping noise at 9:31-9:32?

[@aerospacehorizons]

Something weird was happening with my radio scanner. It would occasionally make that sound. I thought I cut them all out but must have missed one!
