You mean, I finally get to meet you?! haha

Hey Jim, I was gonna challenge you to a race in Betty Jane, but this really levels the playing field.
This vs the Tiger Moth could get really interesting. Your bird will be right at home at "The greatest show on turf!"

Military Aviation Museum's DeHavilland DH.98 Mosquito KA114 has been confirmed for the 2013 Geneseo Airshow.

This birds not even gonna be at Oshkosh, just a few select airshows so I hope it helps draw some extra crowds for HAG. Get your Geneseo trip planned out folks.

[DH82EH]

This is such exciting news!!
There is not a better setting imaginable to see KA114. On the grass where she belongs (and in the sky of course )
This will be a "do not miss" if ever there was one!

Great job to the folks at HAG for getting Mr. Yagen to bring this amazing machine.

Thanks for stopping by Nathan . Don't be a stranger.

Well, this might just make me go back to D52 with the green monster again this year...

[Jeff H]

The Mosquito on the grass at Geneseo WILL be the highlight of the air show season for me. Two thumbs up to the organizers at Genny. I was going to show up for Friday and Saturday but now with this news I will be staying for Sunday as well. Booked my hotel as soon as I found out about this.

Cheers,

Jeff

I have never attended any of the Geneseo events, although I have always wanted to. It has been dream of mine for many years to see a four ship formation of a Lancaster, Mosquito, Hurricane, and Spitfire. Seeing as how all four are scheduled to be there, is there any chance of them doing a pass together?
~Thanks

If you really want to see that kind of formation you might want to try to get to Hamilton, Ontario (maybe 65 to 75 miles or so from the Buffalo, NY area) the weekend of June 15-16. The Lancaster and Mosquito are scheduled to fly with TWO Spitfires and TWO Hurricanes.

To avoid getting the Geneseo thread off on a tangent, you can read about and discuss the Hamilton show here:
