Judging from the aircraft list this gathering should have been called The Gathering Of Transports And Trainers.
I attended the Gathering of Warbirds & Legends on August 2nd and 3rd. Then I attended a well known airshow in your area of Michigan on August 11th. The event in Kansas was inexpensive, while the one in Michigan was certainly not. I enjoyed both events. However, I feel compelled to note that I heard a fairly common comment amongst the paying spectators in Michigan that I did not hear even once in two days at Topeka: "there is sure a lot of time with no planes flying."
If I can attend only one of these two events next year, I will choose to drive the additional 100 miles to attend the Topeka show, even if the performing aircraft are "Transports And Trainers"
