The Zero has flown every show that I have been to. I don't know if the P-26 will fly or not.

By the way, there have been some schedule changes. The F-18 apparently has a schedule conflict and won't be there. What they filled the time slot with though is uber cool. They are calling it the baa baa black sheep flight, four (yes FOUR) F4u Corsairs in formation, tail chase and some acro!
If any of you go, I'll be on the crowdline near show center. Usually I line up to the right of the press area as you are looking at the flightline. I'll be in my usual "work uniform". The back of my shirt is the easiest way to spot me. There is a Red Fokker on the back of the shirt.

Wow! What show! It was really hot...116F on the tarmac yesterday. The winds picked up in the afternoon and it felt like standing near a hairdryer. I drank 4 liters of water during the show and still felt dehydrated!
The show was a bit smaller than in previous years, but what they put together ROCKED!
Here are some quick edits from the show.

I drank just as much water and I still felt queasy at times.
I noticed there was far fewer vendors too.
I did some talking to the staff there. I found out their ME-262 was sold to a German collector, with the huge sum of money they got, to retire a lot of debt they had.
Their B17 "Picadilly Lilly" is slowly being brought up to airworthy standards and no major corrosional issues wave been found so far.
The YP-59 Airacomet MIGHT fly this fall. Wont that be an amazing thing to see?

That one is part of the Planes of Fame collection. It's a good looking Spitfire, and the white highlights make it real easy to spot.

Thanks. I am working on the edits for the website now and should have them up early next week, or sooner if I can. I have the camera set up the way I want it now.
