Hey Michael Luther, any updates to TOM 2008 coming soon?

Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:13 am

Hello Michael.

Lots of us are curious as to what additions to the lineup have been made since you first posted on 22 January. Bits and pieces and lots of rumours but any chance we can get it right from the source?

Thanks for your consideration and hard work.

Jeff,

The biggest thing that we have added is CFs TP-51C mustang and Lone Star's B-17 "Thunderbird".

We will be updating the web site in the next month or so with the new additions.

Thanks Michael. Much appreciated.

We have been added. Douglas C-54 "Spirit of Freedom" is scheduled to attend but, unfortunately, did not make the list on the TOM website as of yet.

Mike Luther,

I've been in contact with Kevin and will stand by to hear whether I make the lineup.

Good morning Paul.

I certainly hope you are included. Being a proud Canuck I look forward to seeing your newly decked out pride and joy.

Paul, I also truly hope you and your T-33 are included in the Lineup. Really look forward to seeing your beautiful airplane in the air along with the Skyhawk, MiG-17, Buckeye, Sabre or any other jet warbirds that can make it!

Kevin, as always the big and beautiful Skymaster is a highlight for any warbird gathering. Hope I catch you coming in on Arrival Day again, also.

Thanks guys, I hope to make it again this year. My warbird buds and I all agreed the folks running TOM were first class professionals and really busted their a*sses to show us hospitality and put on a great show.

We're plugging away on the A4 and F86 and are keeping our fingers crossed they'll be ready by Oshkosh and then Thunder!

It would be nice to have a Skyhawk formation flight !

We will have the web site updated in the next few days. (we have 13 new aircraft to add)

I'm really hoping we will be able to add more to our line up as we get closer, but we never planned in our budget for fuel prices to be so high.

Michael - We look forward to added airplanes with just over 4 1/2 months to this OUTSTANDING Warbird show! Hopefully the recent drop-off in oil prices is a good sign..... :roll:
