ATTENTION! EXIT 333, Rexburg's Central Exit Closure Moved Up One Week! UPDATE FROM ITD: US-20 Main Street Exit in Rexburg to fully close this Monday, 7/22/2024. "REXBURG­­—The Main Street Exit for Rexburg on U.S. Highway 20 will fully close beginning next Monday. The closure at Exit 333 will allow the Idaho Transportation Department to efficiently construct a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) like the one now operating at University Boulevard (Exit 332). The closure is expected to last through the month of August. All ramps at Exit 333, as well as Main Street between the ramps, will be closed to traffic and detoured to nearby interchanges. Through traffic on US-20 will be unaffected during construction. Detours include Thornton (Exit 328), University Boulevard (Exit 332), and North Rexburg (Exit 337). A new permanent traffic signal will be in place and operating to aid the flow of traffic at the North Rexburg Exit prior to this closure. One-lane closures are in effect at the University Boulevard Exit while construction efforts continue there. ..."

!!HEAVY TRAFFIC ALERT!! Rexburg, we know how much you're loving the traffic delays these days, so we thought we'd let you know... This Saturday from Noon and beyond we expect HEAVY TRAFFIC CONGESTION in the area of Main Street and Pioneer/Airway Blvd. We're so excited for our airshow event on Saturday and we are expecting a large crowd! As with any event, this brings a lot of traffic! Rexburg Police Department will be diverting traffic on Main Street between 5th W to 12th W from Noon and beyond (until the airshow traffic has cleared the area). Traffic exiting Highway 20 on the central exit will be diverted away from the center of town and towards Valley Wide. If you are not planning to attend the air show and if at all possible, PLEASE AVOID THE AREA during these times to help minimize traffic and assist with the flow as much as possible. Thank you for your continued patience and thank you to everyone who has worked together for the event on Saturday! Again, we're so excited for the Air Show...we hope it's a huge success! (and we're jealous of the residents who will be able to see it from home!) ;)

I WANT YOU...to join us at the Air Show! Celebrate Father's Day with us on June 15th from 9am-1pm! Visit our Air Show page for more information! https://www.rexburg.org/o/legacyflight/page/air-show

from PlaneHistoria on Facebook Workers attach the mighty R-2800 Double Wasp engine to an F4U Corsair at the Vought factory in Stratford Connecticut, 1943. The XF4U-1 prototype was the very first aircraft to be designed around the Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine. This beast of an engine was the heart of the F4U. With 2,800 cubic inches (46 litres) of displacement and 18 cylinders, this mammoth put down over 1,800 hp. The engine spun a large 13 feet 4 inches (4.06 m) propeller. On October 1, 1940, the XF4U was the first single-engine US fighter to exceed 400 mph. Not only was she fast in a straight line but also in a dive too, attaining speeds of up to 550 mph https://planehistoria.com/f4u/
