Friday and Saturday, my 28th year there.  We'll be along the fence both days between the P-51 "Red Nose" and the announcer stand.  2 green fold up chairs with silver umbrellas.  Already stopped by the museum and got our tickets and Saturday chicken dinner tickets.  Except for when the planes are in the air Saturday afternoon, I'm wandering around with my camera shooting reenactors, vehicles and aircraft on the ground.  Each year I print about 100 reenactor photos and I pass them out as I see them.  

That show is the big event of the year for me.  2013 I postponed back & neck surgery to go, 2014 postponed a hip replacement and this year and this year scheduled a procedure 2 days after.  Can't miss WWII Weekend!

Should be easy to find a Horton shirt and Corsair hat.  See you there, maybe.

I'm a fan of WWII airplanes Bob, so if you get a chance, post a few after the show as even though this is a racing board, I'll bet that most on the board feel the same way....  The planes look cool and sound cool too, just like racecars without thedust.

There is nothing like the sound of a Pratt and Whitney R2800 Double Wasp.
