I'll be there Saturday June 18 and possibly the 19th as well. If anyone plans on going, add a note below so we can meet!

A bit disappointed that the FW 190 seems to have disappeared from the line-up, having been advertised earlier.

OK, here we go with the first batch of teasers. I ended up going both days and unfortunately missed meeting Neil (pbfoot) who was there on Saturday. I did not get his message to meet as I was unable to get on line where I was staying.

Anyway, there was a commendable line-up of aircraft as you'll see. So without further ado, here's a smattering of the 1182 pictures I took for your viewing pleasure (including one for Terry at the end)! Lots more to come if you're interested...

Yup, the P-40N, now owned and operated by Vintage Wings of Canada, is indeed a true warbird, having served with 78 Sqdn of the RAAF until damaged in a landing accident on April 25, 1944.
