That could be one of the greatest bargains anywhere in America.

Very cool. They have one down the road from us every year and they had a B-25 giving rides this year as well.

Those old planes sound kick ass when the fly over.

I won't pay that kind of coin unless it's a B-17 or B-24.

There was a group of guys with Jet powered radio controlled planes. Impressive doesn't begin to describe them.  [sm_shock]

Sweet!  I've always wanted to go down to Flying Cloud Airport too.(the joint M. LeFuzz mentioned)  They put on an awesome show, from what I've heard.

I literally grew up across the street from this airport. There was an airplane junkyard there that was our playground when we were kids. :)
