- several T-34s
- Antonov AN-2 in Aeroflot markings
- two Cessna 195s
- at least one L-4, may have been two (confused)
- Iskra jet in colorful civvie markings
- Swiss-marked Pilatus piston single

Thanks for the list of aircraft. Still surprised that I never heard anything about this airshow. I live and fly right near there and never knew they put on a show that weekend!

I heard about the event from my wife. On Friday evening she asked me, "Are you going to the Museum or the air show tomorrow?", to which I replied, "What air show?" Apparently, she heard a radio commercial for the air show, but since I listen to Sirius satellite radio, I don't hear any commercials, just tunes! .

I shot a handful of lousy pictures with my terrible little pocket-sized Kodak camera before its pitiful battery ran out. They're not worth posting.
