So besides dixiewing bringing in their P-51 and the Dauntless, anyone know of any other guest aircraft for the 2015 show?

Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it as well. The last couple of years they've had CWH birds come on down...hope they do this year as well.

On a related note, I know there is a Bf-109 being restored for them. Anyone know of the progress? Last I heard they were hoping to have it done for this years show.

Weather looks great for this weekend. Anyone going?

A flying Mosquito 30 minutes from my house? - yeah I'll go....

I have yet to see the Me-262 fly yet. Radio problems I believe last year and stupid me left early a few years ago

Click on the link for the museum's website in the OP's post. It says the 109 won't make it for the show.

They are just about ready to test fly her. Can't wait to see her on the East Coast.

Went today (Saturday May 16), great show again, weather was perfect. Finally got to see a Me-262 fly, so that and the Dauntless were the highlights for me.

Most of the regular flyers flew:

MAM P-51 and guest Dixiewing P-51 (thanks for coming!)
US and Brit trainers/liaison/SNJ/T-6's, Po-2, ......
C-47, paradrop
US Navy: PBY, Wildcat, Avenger, Corsair, Dauntless (Dixiewing guest), Skyraider
Germany: trainers, JU52/CASA, Me-262 (flybys only not cleared for the grass)
USAAC: P-40, P-51, P-64 look alike, B-25
UK/USSR: Yak 3, Hurricane, Mosquito.

Likely forgot a few.

2 of the 3 FW-190's look closer to flying.

Spitfire was on the grass- not sure if she went tech.

Some new late WWII German secret weapon jets/rammers (non flyers). V-1 engine (runner!) Impressive.

Thanks again for a great show!
