The 2012 Airpower Arkansas airshow is shaping up to be one of the best airshows in the US this year.  In spite of the US Air Force reducing its single ship demo teams, Airpower Arkansas will have an awesome line up.

The airshow line up to date:

US Navy Blue Angels

US Navy Super Hornet Demonstration

Canadian Forces CF-18 Demonstration

C-130 J Demonstrations

C-130 Capabilities Demonstration (Mass Paratrooper Drop)

John Klatt and Max Adrenaline Air National Guard Team

DAV B-25

USAF Heritage Flight (F-4/P-47/P-51) or (F-16/P-47/P-51)

If you’re a fan of the Hornet (like I am) this show is for you.  Not to mention seeing the C-130 CAPEX where the skies above Little Rock Air Force base are darkened by hundreds of paratroopers of the US Army’s 82^nd Airborne. 

From an aviation photographers stand point, this is one of the best airshows with respect to lighting.  The sun is at your back the whole day as the crowd faces north. 

Stay tuned for more details……..

While we wait for the weekend of September 8^th to roll around, enjoy some images from  previous Airpower Arkansas airshows:
