FighterControl

Looking for a bit of information re the above. Have heard that the parking and then bussing to the show is HORRENDOUS.
Was thinking about arriving on the Sunday, in the vicinity of LUKE about 9am, staying until 2pm, then returning to PHX for a 8.20 flight back to the U.K. Does this plan sound feasible or would I be cutting it too fine because of the reliance of leaving the show early and hoping for not too busy traffic. Ideas and personal experiences very much appreciated.
PS.....We are travelling from YUMA on Sunday morning!!!

It's only 30-40 mins from Luke to the Sky Harbour, so plenty of time.

Thanks for the info. Have been to the area before but was wondering how bad it was during the OPEN DAYS display.

I am also planning to be at Luke on the Sunday, as well as Yuma on the Saturday, all being well.

Never been to either before so looking forwards to both

Thread creeping but Yuma has an airshow on 17 march 2018.

Not sure how much will be on show and will probably reduce activity for the surrounding days?

I shall be watching the show on here http://liveairshowtv.com/

very rough log for the non-static aircraft, additions requested. We thought there were 39 F-35 present so about 9 remain unidentified. Only a token effort on the F-16s.
