Have to make sure that nothing comes up that weekend. Interesting that its taking place in Hartford though. But yeah of course id be up for it!

Gonna have to break out the Vought Shirts again.

So do you know what specific aircraft are coming? Judging from the photos, Panchito, and Skyboss? Or are they just place holder pictures?

Who would have thought, another airshow in CT!

I thought i was gonna have to wait for the next little gathering in Stratford.

Keep me up to speed!

Not an air show.

There will be flying demonstrations, but no aerobatics and the tower is in control.

The term "air show" to most people means aerobatics.
Not the case here. It'll be like "Corsairs Over Connecticut", very "hands on".

Sad to hear that! Any chance of that getting altered in the future?

But i digress it still sounds exciting! What would you want me and my father to do? Just the usual ground runners and what not.
