Great to see it finally go "public" Jerry! The Connecticut Air & Space Center will indeed be at the show all weekend with a smaller display for the Corsair Restoration Project, but we'll also have parts of the S-60 and Whitehead No. 21 restorations to showcase the multi layered projects we have going on. Were still working on the displays so it might change a little depending on what were able to get prepared by May. This show means the world to the CASC since were still not able to freely open to the public, so we consider this the not to be missed event of the year! We hope you join us and enjoy what will sure to be one heck of a show at a very historic airfield!

How much importance does their lie in the markings on that Spit in the poster?

In all seriousness, it looks like a very nice event, with a great aircraft line-up, and I hope to see some photos of the show when the time comes!

[Jerry O'Neill]

The "art department" guys came up with the poster. Markings aren't as important to them as design & looks.
I have to choose the battles I fight and since I'm too tied up with the actual aerial portion of the show, and we're so close to event, I'll have to leave it at that.

I'm sorry Jerry, I shouldn't try pulling anyone's legs here. It's a very nice design, with a good layout of hierarchy and balance, and I definitely think it is eye-catching! Well done to the team that designed it! Thank you too for your efforts, in bringing these types of airshow events to fruition!
