Any idea on cost of the flights? Their website is really bad. My son is pretty amped about this and I am a HUGE fan of anything airplane related. Especially the B-25s...

Odds of a B-17 around then?

Looking like Sunday for us.

Expensive! But I know a guy that can get your son a ride in a Taylorcraft later this summer :)

Any idea on the cost? He would LOOOOVE a ride.

Here is a link to Panchito's ride info for another airshow later this year (they are scheduled to this weekends also). They are asking $450 per person for a 30 minute flight. I would imagine this airshow will not be far off that cost.

Nope, filled up already. Even used the Kroger card for discount. Big surprise engine shutting off when leaned over. Real low on gas, ya think?

Stayed about 5 hours and bombed out when it got crowded. Missed the P-51. Was told several warbirds would arrive about 4pm from Texas. Very difficult taking photos in gusty winds...

Best 9 of 380. Contrast bumped on one, and some auto leveling on three.

Otherwise raw images.

Slide Show

Sorry about the bumpy/shakey stuff, the wind was pushing me and the camera around.
