For those of you in the vicinity of northeastern Ohio, the United States Aviation Museum will present the 2012 air show, "Gathering Of Eagles XVI" at the Willoughby Lost Nation Municipal Airport in Willoughby, Ohio on July 14-15, 2012. We plan to bring back some old friends and will also have some new attractions as well.

A Gathering Of Eagles update - the arrival day for the 2012 Gathering of Eagles XVI Air Show kicked off the weekend earlier today and we are glad to be here! On the ramp right now we have the B-25 Mitchell "Yankee Warrior" and C-47 Skytrain "Yankee Doodle Dandy" from the Yankee Air Museum along with the CJ-6, CM.170 Magister (Fouga Jet), C-123 "Thunderpig", T-28 Trojan, BT-13 Valiant, T-6 Texan, Pitts S-2B, and the SGM 2-37 Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum Motorgliders.

On the way home from my daughter’s wedding I "just" happened to stumble on this air show. Was there only for about 20 minutes but may have been the best 20 minutes there. I just love the Skyraider, and the B-25 isn’t to shabby either.
