Who is going to this?

I'm hoping to go on Sunday. It will be my son's first airshow if it works out! 8)

I might be there Friday and Saturday. They've had some cancellations and I'm trying to decide if it's still worth the five hour drive and overnight stay.

Nathan Davis' Mustang had been listed to be there, but now the site isn't showing anything at all under the fighters section. I wonder if he canceled or if the site's just not up to date?

It's nice to see Yankee Lady coming back after not having a B-17 last year!

According to ASB, the Helldiver and Mohawk both cancelled. They also had a P-38 booked at one time too.

Looks like I won't be going. I scored cheap Tigers tickets for that Saturday three rows from the field. Hope everyone has fun!

Well, I'll have my WIX shirt on, so if anyone else is going on Sunday, be sure to say Hi.

I will be there, but on Sat. only. I work on Sunday. I hope the B-2 makes some cool passes.

Bummer. Maybe next time.

I decided I'll probably wear my vintage Confederate Air Force shirt. The WIX shirt will be too dark in the tarmac heat!

Sunday turned out to be a great day after all! The crowd was a decent size but not overbearing, and the weather was great until the ride home. Here are a few pictures, hopefully some others will post more (and better ones)!
