I too was thinking about coming out to TOM next year. I go to one big show per year away from the Pacific NW and was contemplating TOM. But, with a Vietnam Theme, I'm gonna have to pass. Oh well, there is always 2010. :(

I think you get all those beautiful planes up there, get EOD/Blastards on board, and it'll be one h*ll of a show!

I think I know where I'm going for my long-distance airshow next year!

:lol:

Maybe Korea for 2010? That way we can try to get Fifi up there. ;)

I know as a member of EOD/Blastards and the 29/24 Squadron I would love to do the show in Michigan! Thanks for the kind words about the work of the EOD/Blastards, it is always good to blow of some steam! :lol:

Gee, how do you really feel? Why the antipathy to the viet nam veterans and aircraft?

Even though they have a theme, I'm sure they'll still have a bunch of great WWII stuff too..........

Got a couple Huey's down here that we could put on trailers to get them up there. The people at WOH seemed to like them!

This'll be one to skip for me too. I saw plenty of Vietnam-era types when they were still in the inventory.

Great choice of a theme TOM guys!! With just coming off the Wings Over Houston show with a Vietnam act, it should be great! The only bad thing is since its not a WWII theme this go around...there goes my ride! :? You can bet im going to try and make it!

Hmmm...maybe Rick has room! :pirate

Which Rick ?

We got a hellhole, matter of fact, we have two. Small glitch, though, one doesn't have a bottom and darn little to hang on to, the other is full of jet engine ! :lol:
