Along with the planes were the re-enactors that battled each other throughout the day. Each had their own camp and it was great. First up are the Americans......

The German encampment was interesting and at one point they battled the Russians from behind the truck...

Great shots B17 and Njacco, looks like it was an interesting day up there.

Funnything, I was driving around down near King of Prussia later in the day and I saw a couple of guys in a Jeep go by with a Recoiless Rifle on the back. Thought, "Now that's something you don't see every day, a machine gun maybe, but a 106MM RR, now that's different".

Now I have a pretty good idea where he was coming from.

Like the paint job on the SNJ, makes it look a bit like an SBD.

Didn't take as many pics as I wanted to, but Chris and Harrison carried me.

Here are some shots of the Lanc, the Spit and one of the P-61 restoration.

(The wife sneaked into one of the Spitfire pics)

Steve you got some better pics than me but between us all I think we got this thing covered!!

One of the highlights of the day for me was getting some autographs from some guys I admired..

1. Lt. John Pinkham of the 79th FG was attached to the RAF while in NA flying P-40s. He and I talked about how he had a chance to fly a captured Fw 190. Great guy!!

2. Also met "Bud" Anderson but it was the end of the end when I spoke to him and I think he was tired. It was long day for these guys.

3. And got a pic autographed by the guys from the original Band of Brothers - Easy Co of the 101st AB. Met Don Malarky, Babe Heffron and "Wild Bill" Guarnere. These guys were the best especially putting up with all this signing circus. Waited in line for an hour. I'm still amazed I was talking with these guys and I thanked them each for what they had done.

4. And the cover of the event program.
