I had read on the Planes of Fame facebook page that Steve Hinton and Kevin Eldridge were headed there in the P-51 & P-40 and also the Airshow Buzz facebook page says Dan Friedkin and Jim Beasley were on their way... Are any WIXer's going to be out there to give us updates and photo's ? 8)

Greg Anders and the HFM Skyraider are in attendance. Along with JR and WIX'er "Aerocapture", so there might be a few shots show up...

I was there from about 8:00am to 4:30pm yesterday and only saw the A-1 and 2 P-51s arrive. Anything else must have come in later and nothing arrived this morning. I will post some photos when I can go through them later today. I will be around D-M Fri, Sat and Sun and will post more photos later.

ps we did not see the F-22 arrive yesterday, I hope it is here We did see 3- F15s in formation, 3- F-16s in formation, 4- F-4s in formation (when was the last time you saw 4 F-4s together and not trailing smoke?). If the warbird community is interested I can post some of the photos also>

Great to see a little tribute to the premier aircraft of the past. Especially like the F-86 tank.
