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!

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.

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-
