I might go Sunday morning. From what I hear there should be plenty of T-6s and other warbirds flying around. Do you know where they're going to be parked?

[mustangdriver]

Yeah, North ramp by the tower. Looking to be a big turn out. Weather forecast looks great!

It is a private fly in, but the planes will be parked in an area where they can be seen. They are going to be doing formation training and some other events. Arrival day is Friday, with flying Sat and Sun

Thank you for the quick answer.One more question.Can the public come out and take photo's on the airport grounds?

I don't think they are having a public viewing as it isn't an airshow, but if you drop me a PM I can more than likely escort you around for a bit so that you can get some pics.

Chris...do you know if this is part of the formation training that was being done by the Shuttleworths out of Huntington?

Speaking of Huntington...when ya have the time (!), maybe take a little drive over there and take some pix of the Starfighter that was "borrowed" from Grissom. I believe it was Tim Savage that posted some pix on here a couple of years ago and she was looking pretty haggardly...big dent and some nasty mold growing on her. I had hopes of trying to bring her back to Grissom, but got absolutely nowhere with that

Not sure if this is the same one or not. It may be, but there are other events they are doing as well. Very fun time!
Will do my friend. We are looking at trying to get an F-86 and the F-104 back for the museum. We are looking at K-buildings for right now. One to house the B-17, F-86, and F-14. Also a concrete pad that extends from the building so that we can push the B-17 outside for events.

Have a good time Chris! Sorry I couldn't make it.

Enjoy the pics!
