I'm thinking of going, but wasn't that impressed with the lineup and thought the Northeast Pennsylvania airshow looks slightly more interesting (F-22, MiG-17, Tucano). Have you heard of Westfield acts not shown on the web site, esp warbirds? There are 2 days in a weekend so I might get to both.

They are extremely slow with updating their line up. I've been going since I was a kid and usually things show up without them being posted. I think a couple years ago a b-52 and and b-1 were there and I had no idea. I went to Quonset this year and was shocked to see a couple apaches, so awesome

The corsair has been pulled from the line up for the Westfield airshow. The only warbirds attending are the p-40,b-25,p-51,2 c-47s and the avenger,( which will be static.)

According to lt. Col. Eric armentrout-"“People do turn out, they come out to see these historical planes fly,” Armentrout said. “So we built a line-up that is very, very heavy with these war birds.”

He must be talking about another Westfield,ma airshow in August?

Well, also 6x T-28.

I am waiting for the first show with our new NY-based Spitfire Mk.I. Wherever that one is, I'm there.
