Joe, I'm pretty sure everything on the list showed up. I did not take a line by line inventory but, glancing at the list, it seems to be all there.

I cannot stress this enough...as you probably already know...leave early.

At 2pm traffic was still backed up for miles with people trying to get in.

I'll be there!

Anybody know what order the performers went in?  Like, if I were really only interested in the F-86s and the Heritage Flight, about what point in the day did that happen today?

[azspyder]

The performers did not follow the published schedule. The F-35, Heritage Flight, and F-86 stuff happened between 1130 and 1300 when the position of the sun still allowed some decent shots.

I am heading over today....

[yipDog]

don't forget the patches.  Going to try to get there around @ 9 or 10...give me a buzz.

[Joe Copalman]

Headed out myself soon.  Praying to the parking gods . . .

^^^^ Love the Embry bird Rob. Saw it up close - a terrific looking platform.

I have a weird obsession with the CAP 232 (Eagle 580 in Matt Chapman's world)
Started with building a 28% RC model which was my first large plane. Flew it for almost 10 years and truly mastered it. Sold it for a helicopter and the guy crashed it a week later.
While building I did a ton of research on the "full scale" planes and found out there are only 14 airframes...in the world. The factory burned to the ground along with all the plans and tooling. So it's a truly rare bird.
I am currently building two of the same 28% planes...one for my oldest son and one for me.
