Last minute addition to the line-up at Thunder. The CAF Dixiewing is sending their P-63 Kingcobra in addition to their Corsair and SBD that were previously announced.

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

I was at the Swift National Fly-In today in Athens, TN when the CAF P-63A Kingcobra stopped in for a fuel stop on her way to Niagara.

Re: 2018 EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh

Re: Gathering of B-17s 2018 - Urbana/Dayton, OH

Looks like bad weather will prevent the bombers from landing at the museum today but they're hoping to do flyovers and land when weather allows. Hopefully the event can go smoothly!
