The cat is out of the bag. From what I have heard this event should not be missed. The plans are just starting to roll and it may just turn into the Geneseo of Canada. I would not be surprised to see three Spitfires, two Hurricanes and the Lanc there, although I doubt the Lanc will operate off of his field.

I take it the Harvard cartell will be in attendance also? Should be a great event. It will be nice to see something in Southern Ontario to fill the gaping void left by the big Hamilton and Muirkirk shows of years gone by. Eric, keep us informed, please! By the way, is that the same weekend as the Corsair gathering and the MAAM show in Reading? Hate to think its. What to do, what to do.....???? Jim

I have been burned before as well. I don't even drive by an airport without a camera. Of course I always STOP to take pictures.

Actually I am really excited about this...I was upset I can't get to the U-bird gathering...but this is much more doable. Plus did I read two Hurricanes!!! WOOO HOOO!

Jim

P.S.: Jbox...the Harvard Cartell...What a name. :) You owe me a phone call, btw.

Just so you guys aren't making any rash plans based on rare opportunities to see the Ed Russell aircraft... know this:

Both the Spitfire and the Bf-109 will be at Geneseo... confirmed. Look for the Fighter Factory Spitfire and Hurricaine too.

B-17 Liberty Belle was confirmed to be at Geneseo too.

Collings Foundation B-25 and Corsair are slated to attend as well.

More as it develops.
