2008 Rhode Island ANG Open House - Combined Arms Demo

Combined Arms Demonstration

2008 Rhode Island ANG Open House & Airshow
Quonset State Airport
North Kingstown, RI
Saturday June 28, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as four UH-60 Blackhawks, a UH-1 Huey, and one C-130J-30 Hercules take part in the Combined Arms Demonstration. There are no A-10s in the demonstration because the two main A-10 units in the Northeast have gone on to new roles (Mass ANG with F-15s and CT ANG with C-21s). Thus, one UH-60 played the role of a gunship-equipped Blackhawk, and one of the C-130J-30s could not fly on Saturday because of a mechanical problem with the aircraft. Sunday's demo did have the full C-130J-30 compliment.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

they are not real bombs. its pyrogliphics. its just there for more realism. more simulated

[carstalkerz]

how do they keep the runway intact with those bombs dropping

[bmxkid7845]

i was there

[cumminsfan]

I saw all this first hand that day, and i have to say, this vid does not do it justice. it was freakin awsome in person! you could feel the heat wave from the final bomb blast. the camera man shouldve zoomed out a bit

[tmanf22]

This scenario is very entertaining but hardly realistic. One thing that caught my eye was that the Guards Uh-1H/V are not combat ready aircraft as portrayed in the scenario. Theoretically they could be within a short amount of time.

There is no other sound like a huey!

Go USA!
