Warbirds in Tennessee?

[TimAPNY]

I should be there also. The fly-in's in the past have been very good. I'm hoping this is in par with those...but there will be some warbirds and it is somewhat close to home so I know I won't be disappointed.

I'll be carting a ton of camera gear with a tan boonie hat.

ill look for you tim. my name is justin, when I introduce myself if I find you, btw. Not sure what ill be wearing. going with my new P&S to see if its worth keeping or if ill return it, maybe replace it with a better one. We'll see.

Anyways, yeah im hoping for a good showing. either way, ill be glad to get down that way and see what middle TN has to offer. i may leave a little early from my house and stop through John C. Tune on the way past Nashville.

Anyone know what time the gates open for the fly-in? parking fee? admission fee?

8-5pm with free admission and parking. I'm going as well, likely standing near the guy with the tan boonie hat.

Hey Tim, BK, and marine air (sorry your name is escaping me right now!), good to meet you guys and talk on Saturday. Was a good time!

It was a good fly-in all things considered. With 5 Stearmans (ok 4 and a NAF N3N), 6 Yak/CJ-6s, and 7 T-34s, among other things, there sure were plenty of aircraft there, and most of those aircraft were flying all day! There wasnt much down time, considering it was a fly-in. None of the big Iron ever showed up, sadly. Rumors of 2 P-51s, a B-17, a B-25, a Sea Fury, a Yak-9, and an Apache all were swirling, but none ever showed. It was a good day nonetheless.

ill post more pics this week, but for now, here are a couple previews
