Selfridge Open House And Air Show 2022

After many cancellations due to Covid,  Selfridge Air National Guard Base opened up this weekend to the public for it's 100 Year Anniversary Open House and air show.

To say it was an awesome show would be an understatement.

One of the highlights was the flight demonstration put on by the very last F-100 Super Sabre in the world that is in flying condition:


Many more pics to follow. 

Oh, and the 10,000 steps I took at the air show may have proven to be a tad ambitious.

The F-100 Super Sabre

The F-100 Super Sabre rocked through the skies over Willow Run airport.

The F-100 took off with the greatest of ease.


The first US Fighter to attain supersonic speeds in level flight, the Hun rocked the show, especially with the very distinct and loud bang sound of its afterburner igniting.

The Hun whipped its way across the sky.

Quite the sweet and loud sound from that jet engine.


The exhaust could be clearly seen during slow flight as the engine is not very efficient at low speeds at low altitude, but it made for some good pictures.





A perfect landing and then it taxied off to the ramp.
