Looks good so far. Did you say another storm is moving in?

Yeah Eric, they are predicting another sever thunder storm tonight. Im hoping it will pass without raining as the airshow is just a maze due to the already wet grounds from last week. Over by the old Whitman termal they said that normally they have around 100 aircraft sitting there. Because they fields are so rain soaked they have around 300 on the concrete and blacktop over there. Big campers and 5th wheeled ones are directed to the old K-Mart parking lot so they dont sink. Most of the DC-3s are where they normally keep the military jets. Just a mess but every one taking in stride. You cant control mother nature. Even parking has been challenging. Ive never had to walk as far as I have this year especially since I get there when the gates open.
 
Most of the DC-3's are here and this is about as close to them as you can get. Except for the few I posted on the higher areas of the grass that are dry.

Wow, what a great selection of aircraft!! Thanks for the pics Paul

Thanks,

I guess I'm surprised but some of the comments. For those that dont know it Air venture is the largest airshow in the world with the busiest airport in the world for the 7 days of the airshow. I usually has around 10,000 aircraft on the grounds and around 400 war-birds from WWI all the way up to modern day. People from all over the world come to EAA, Canada, Russia, Australia, Italy, France, China, Africa to name but a few.
 
Thanks guys, its raining here today so looks like I wont be going today. I have to work Thursday and Friday so maybe Saturday I might be able to get back out there.
 
Well another day at the airshow. Started out looking like rain but then turned sunny. Very tired so enjoy!!
