I am going to this tomorrow. I have borrowed a friend's camera and just might have some decent photos to post next week.

"planes will fill the skies this weekend along with about 20 more World War II-era aircraft, including the museum's Mustang fighter, TBM Avenger bomber and wooden Mosquito fighter-bomber - the only one left in the world that flies. On the ground, more than 300 re-enactors will attend. And in between, German paratrooper re-enactors will jump out of a German Junkers Ju-52."

Have fun and good luck.
And let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight. — E. B. Jeppesen

This place is cool as crap!! I've heard about it for a few years, and never made it out there - I'll be going often now, especially the Warbirds event, held annually. I think I might even have a few shots database worthy.

Here's a couple until I get more time....

The single-engine prop looks like an F8F Bearcat.

Gear doors are wrong for a Hellcat. Looks like an A-1 Skyraider.

The trio on top are almost certainly T-6s.

The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers...

That is the exact plane - at the same place I was on Saturday.
