Who went? Where are the pictures? Any interesting stories from this past weekend?
I don't really have any photos since my phone was dead for the event but it was a great time.

I went and as always such a great show. Not a single civilian performance. Here's a few of my images from the show.

Love the postwar C-47, reminds me of my father who flew base "hacks" occasionally.

Whose B-17 is that? Lyons or Palm Springs?

I hope to get there someday, but sadly I'm well over 2000 miles away and unlikely to get there anytime in the immediately coming years...

Gotta love that, you can only see a Pitts special or YAK spinning around so many times before you wanna say you've had enough...

I was there on Sunday and it was a great show (as always). I thought they had a very nice variety of warbirds this year. The highlight for me was watching the the SBD, TBM, SB2C, FM2, and FG1D fly together.
Only have some cell phone pics, nothing as nice as Steven's shots.

That BT-13 Acro was pretty wild to watch.

I am friends with the CAP reenactors. Anyone get any good aerial shots of their flying?

Anyone know what happened to the one paratrooper that jumped from the C-46 on Saturday who landed off-airport?

I think the French Resistance spirited him away to Lancaster for some Amish food.

Yep. He was fine. Just landed in the parking lot. Safely, so I was told.
