Good to see the Museum hosting (and encouraging) flying events.
I would have thought there would be a lot of reluctance about letting civilians use the field.
I attended a WWII fly-in (obviously mainly replicas), then they flew of the kawn, not the old Wright Field.

It looks like a really fun event. I hope they get a good turnout.

I'm curious what procedures they use for that old runway for these events. I don't see any charts for it, and it's invisible on sectionals. The only NOTAM is an advisory that heritage aircraft are operating in the area. Is it treated as off-airport operation, maybe with an airboss?
