This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Thanks Michael - we appreciate the information. Maybe you could clarify something for us. On another website an air show fan posted the scheduled information from your website and added the following note:

"Flying will also begin at 9 AM, some aircraft will be flying and some NOT in the show will be doing some flying..."

I asked them if this information was verified or not, but they have replied back yet.

Can you tell us if we can expect to see some of the attending warbirds flying between 9:00 AM and the official 11:30 AM opening of the flying part of the show? The more flying we see the better! 8)

Thanks.

I just found out I will be able to make it to the show. Is there a good spot to see the arrivals on Friday and take good pictures from?

There is an official area for people to view arrivals on Friday. Check out the TOM website for information on Arrival Day Admission.

Lots of us stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn that are side by side. Last year we had a good gathering in the Holiday Inn on the Saturday night looking at photos and talking warbirds.

Rats, bad news about Show Me. The two B-25s that have cancelled are ones I have not seen before. Ah well, still have lots to see.

ps. I am at the Holiday Inn this year and look forward to meeting up.

I'll be at the Holiday Inn Express for the third year in a row. Going there Friday, coming home Saturday. Last year I went for a swim and my eyes were burning so bad from the chlorine. My friend and I took a walk to Tim Hortons afterwards, my eyes still stinging, so I looked like I was balling my eyes out, meanwhile the re-enactors drove by convoy style with all their equipment. The combination of going to Tim Hortons in Michigan, Crying, WWII military hardware driving along.... made for an odd experience!
