US Trip Up the East Coast

Post by Boxhill Bob » Mon May 19, 2025 3:22 pm

Hi So for something different did a trip in April from Florida to Virginia and back with Steve and Matt we had no problems with security but did not stay too long in one place. Went to Beaufort Show there were two queues one US and Non US they did the usual security bag check then we had to go to a NCIS area they take your photo check your hands to see if you have been handling any explosive then take your finger prints and a copy of your passport or driving licence took about 10mins then we were in !! seems that the Navy and the Marines do this at there shows but not the Air Force a friend went to Barksdale Show and there was only a bag check.... Anyway here is a section of the shots I took

Hello Bob

Thank you for your reply/

I must have an old map on Google as the link you sent me is showing no aircraft where the 'pin' is.

Kind regards
Steve
