How was the turnout? Any chance of some pics?
Wish I could have gone, but I love having a job more than I love model shows

Bump! any photos out there? especially of the XB-70

Thanks,

Tom P.

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to get many photos as I was busy running the event and moderating the WWII Veterans Panel Discussion, but here are a few photos courtesy of Dave Wells and Gerry Voigt:

Thanks! That orange and white A-26 with the drones - the Wendover museum has a photo or two of that very set up on the ramp here. Pretty cool stuff!

Thanks for the link Zach, looks like a good time.

Any shots of the 1/144th aircraft?
