As anybody ever heard of this outfit - The Flying Circuis Aerodrom, in Va
http://www.flyingcircusairshow.com/

I was driving through Va yesterday on Business and while in Bealton saw a sign from the highway for this outfit. I decided to check out it out and drove off the higway for a few miles where I found a grass strip setup somewhat similar to what Rhineback was back in the 70's.

The Web says they do shows every Sunday during the summer, but I couldn't get a real sence of what the collection includes. It looks like mostly biplanes with a Stearman and Waco selling rides before and after the show.

If any one has any info let me know, I am thinking of going if it sounds like it is worth it.

Friend of mine (also from UK) happened across it acouple of years ago and enjoyed a fun afternoon there. Went for a ride in a Stearman with Charlie Kulp - showed me the pics, and I said "that's Charlie Kulp" which impressed my mate no end! Well, Charlie was over here several times back in the 90s doing his crazy flying routine in a J-3.

Go - an afternoon with old aeroplanes is never wasted! :D

Yep...Bealeton, VA. Not all that far from us. Used to go to gun shows there and then go watch all the "old timey" aeroplanes do their stuff. A lot of fun.

Mudge the fun loving :D

Lex Dupont brought the Wildcat to one of our summer fly-ins once, and we get the occasional T-6 and various PTs in addition to the usual vintage types-
