This year involved a tribute to the Jolly Rogers of VF-17, which ultimately included (as I recall) 12-13 Corsairs on the field.

Also Kermit Weeks' Sunderland, Constellation, multiple Spitfires, Sikorsky S-43...

So fix a pitcher of your favorite beverage and the big bowl of popcorn.

It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

Thank you Dan for the links. '94 was a really great show, with the Sunderland, Connie, DH.88 Comet replica, Gee Bee R-2 replica, Rare Bear, the VF-17 tribute/Corsair gathering, etc. The airshow portion was actually broadcast live, locally, on at least one of the days of the show that year (I still have a VHS somewhere, recorded off of TV of that broadcast, about 3 hrs long as I recall - back when such viewing wasn't that uncommon on TV - Cliff Robertson was one of the guests interviewed by the hosts, talking about his Spitfire, among other things).

Also neat to see the little bit of footage of "How Boot That" in action, in the '95 video, fresh from restoration (and touch-up) at Aero Trader.

I started attending at the age of 7 in '92...those first 5 years were really something and I caught the tail end of the golden age up there. Thanks for sharing!

these are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
