The Plum Island people have a great time with their events and we have attended several of them. It is a small airport and has easy parking, and they always have something neat. (Navions in formation, AN-2, L-39 flybys) Its only a 2200 ft strip in a really cool location
The Hampton, NH event has been giong on for years. In the past we have seen some really nice biplanes, a Howard, even a turbine powered Birddog! Usually there is also a big event at the Harley dealer out front so if the flying air cooled things get you bored you can walk out there.
