Small Scale Military Headquarters

The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum is putting on what looks to be a GREAT week of WWII re-enactments and airshow. Wish I lived on the East Coast.

Well, for that sort of price, I might as well hijack the plane and make the pilots give me a free ride

I visited that museum when it used the be the Bradley air Museum. A very neat place!! I wish I was further up on the Atlantic seaboard. The Bradely air Museum suffered a tornado back around 1980 that unfortunately threw around quite a few planes.....

at first that price for the rides does seem steep, but consider it costs $8500 an hour to fly the b-29. hey, if you can do it you can do it, and congrats to those that can!

don't know if anyone saw though but R. Lee Ermey will be there from Mail Call doing a special, along with a Lancaster bomber and a geniune bf-109 combat vet. looks to be a good show.

i'll be there with my reenactment group, we do 25th infantry division, in the pto. look for lots of bamboo, a guard tower, and a 40 MM bofors AA gun! That's us!

My reenactment group will be there, so look for the 9th SS. This is the first year in recent memory that they are allowing a Waffen-SS unit to attend, so we're trying to put on a good show.

We should be bringing our 251/9 Halftrack, both of our Ford 3-ton V-3000 trucks, our 1944 Kubel, our 222, both Pak guns, our Flak 38 20mm, our 1938 Mercedes V-170 Staff Car, and our 3 Motorcycles and Sidecars.

If you attend, stop by and ask for Rolo.

I went to that show in 200 or 2001 and remember that they had to stop the battle because one of the allied soldiers didnt check his weapon and fired a live round instead of blank ammo. DUH! Luckily no one got hit.
