Another thing...

Don't suppose its in the budget to get the Tora Tora, Pyro team out there for next year? Also are there any other pyro teams out there? I thought there would be more of a demand for something like this at shows?

Man what a show that would be! P-47's on the deck, doing a fighter sweep with heavy explosions going off on the far side of the bean field! C-47s dropping in troops over the battle! Of course safety is always the biggest concern.

Also, has anyone ever thought of putting up bleachers for the reenactment portion of the show? If i remember correctly there were swarms of people crowded to see the battle.

BTW ... I would assume it would be much cheaper to gather P-47's than it was to gather B-17's and B-25's ... would this be the case? So maybe it's not too far off base to think Steve could bring his razorback to Michigan, I certainly would help with funding if we passed the hat. BTW, any news on the razorback sent to england? When do you think she will fly again?

What would the cost be to truck the Kalamazoo Air Zoo T-Bolt to the airfield and at least have it static sitting on the ramp assuming they are in agreement to do so. ?

Jeff :D
