Great news Todd. Can't wait for the show. My wife and I have taken the week off before the show and plan to stay in the area for a holiday.

Cheers,

Eric

Might I suggest visiting "The Henry Ford" (the trendy name for the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village) for wasting a full day? There's also the K-zoo air zoo, but that's quite a drive from the Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor area.

Todd,

Great to see the additions.Just a couple of questions that may have been answered before.Have you guys checked about the planes of fame spit,hurricane and skyraider to see if they could come.Maybe to far.For the vietnam era segment what about the F-100 from FT. Wayne IN or the Indiana Aviation Musuem's A-37A Dragonfly.These are alot closer to the show.How about a few T-28's for the vietnam side.If I am not mistaken Ray with his bearcat is legacy flight qualified.Could it be possible that we may see him fly with the corsair and skyhawk?That would be awsome to see at 1 show 2 3-ship legacy/heritage flight formations.You guys do great work and I look forward to this show.

Doug

isrr70...Just a friendly suggestion. Your posts will be a lot easier to read if you start putting a space between the end of one sentence and the beginnning of the next.
We'll 'preciate it.

Been there done that. I have not seen the New Aiir Zoo so that is a possible trip.

Thanks Mudge for the tip. I am new at this.

Doug,

Hopefully Kevin and/or Mike will respond here and answer your question regarding the Planes of Fame's Spitfire, Hurricane and Skyraider. I do know they have been in contact with Steve Hinton who is scheduled to fly the P-38 Lightning in the USAF Heritage Flight. The show organizers are very aware of the Ft. Wayne F-100 and Valparaiso A-37. There are two T-28s based on the field that normally participate along with several from the local area.

In regards to the Navy "Legacy Flight", Mike or Kevin will have to respond to your query.

Todd

Planes of Fames stuff would be too much.
The F-100 and A-37 are thinges we have thought about.
We will end up with a few T-28s, as day of show ups.
Navy flight, looks like the Bearcat might not make it.
