Another excellent vintage thread, Nate! Some of those bring back fond memories of midwest shows we attended.

Thanks for posting, Nate! CR was my first airshow, IIRC it was organized by Ken Hopper who now does the Quad Cities show. Some very spectacular F-14 demos there...

Yeah Ken does a great job putting on the Quad City Airshow Each year. Just wondering besides Gunfighter, does anyone know where most of theses warbirds are now?

Let's just hope those shorts never get restored.

I wonder if that funny F-15 thingy ever caught on?
