I know that both Neal Melton's and John Shoffner's P-47 Thunderbolts will be there. Also Bob Baranaskas's P-40 will also be in attendance.

Yes - even if there was only two or three Mustangs attending it would still be quite a warbird extravaganza. Throw in another 97 or so and you have something really extraordinary!

The Daytona 500 is going to have nothing on the parking lot next Thursday when they open it :shock:

The Zero present will be the "Tora 101" replica flown by Doug Jackson.

The last list I have, dated 9/16, shows 1 109 and 1 190...whether or not they actually show up on the ramp will be determined no later than Sunday afternoon, Sep 30. :-)

Pacific Prowler will be the official camera ship for the event (which is only fitting, since she served Tallmantz Aviation for many years as a camera ship for various Hollywood productions). In addition, they'll be offering Flight Experiences every day. I know Jim and Steve and gonna have a blast doing all that flying!

Wish I could be there. . . :cry:

Cheers!

I may be alone with this comment, but I'm actually kind of glad they don't give a list of every aircraft that is scheduled to be there. Too often now I think we expect every airshow to have a detailed list of all of the aircraft scheduled. It'll be nice to go into that show not knowing what to expect besides the Mustangs and a couple of other planes mentioned.

It appears that Yankee Lady arrived a few minutes ago.

Also it appears that the Tri State Warbird Museum's B-25 is enroute as well.

Click on the "Details" tab next to the N number to see the correct description of the aircraft for both of the above links.
