I did! Had to go support one of our CASC board members as Jerry O'Neill was doing MC work! As always its such a thrill to be back in Geneseo. The show felt pretty light with acts unfortunately. I know both Corsairs and the PBY had to cancel which was a blow. Especially compared to even just a couple of years ago. I think having it the same weekend as Reading, is the first must for a correction for next year. But don't get me wrong. It was still a great show! I'm going to break up my pictures in categories. I didn't take pictures of every plane on the field, but I think I got most of them.

Nice photos Chris... :wink:
But nothing like the nineties, they definitely need to change the dates.

I agree that reverting the dates as to not conflict with Reading is a given. Also, they should put the "drive in" parking behind the crowd line.

I dream of the days where vehicle parking was to the south of Big Tree Lane to accommodate aircraft attendance.

Splendid buncha pix, thanks so much! I particularly liked seeing the Meyers OTW.

Thanks for sharing photos from Geneseo! Curious as to how the mix of drive-in and general admission worked there. I've always heard the main draw to Geneseo is the atmosphere and access, and wondering how giving priority to the drive-in customers may have impacted that.

Is that a real Hellcat on the pole or a replica?

Thanks Chris enjoyed your photos.
Hope to get back there again if they change the date.

And I'm sure Jerry did a great job announcing.
