Thank you!

It's going to be one heck of a show this year! We're very busy with the planning which started back in October!

Hmmm... Perhaps I'll go in, find P-51 and talk to him (but not mention my screen name), then ask on the board if he knew it was me

Good luck finding me. He he! If I'm not up on the control tower, I'm in the media pit

They give you that much access?

I used to tag along with my dad when he was the FAA liason for the NAS Lemoore airshow (thats the base where the F-18D Superhornets are stationed), but all that was about 8 years ago. It was pretty cool getting access to all the planes that were not open to the public display - F-18s, A-10s, and even the Blue Angel #7

If only I had the digital camera I've got now!

The Airshow is May 20-21 this year

Bring the museum's photographer, webmaster, and graphic designer... they give me just about any access I need! He he.
