I'll be happy either way. Would obviously love to see both and P-47s are my favorite aircraft, but each type is a rare visitor to Michigan. I've never seen either type in a two-ship Heritage Flight with the A-10. It's awesome that POF is picking up the show dates for the Erickson P-38!

Great show today! Weather was fine and saw just about everything I was hoping to see. I'm assuming there was some sort of issue that prevented the Jack Aces from flying since I never saw the second P-51. Not a big deal, the show was great! I wouldn't mind seeing the Mr. Mulligan demo again. Let's ho...

I'm fairly optimistic about tomorrow. The weather looks like it's supposed to improve as the day goes on. I don't really care if a high show isn't possible. Flat show is fine. As long as there are aircraft flying, I'll be happy.

Columbus Airshow announced Planes of Fame is sending their P-38 as a replacement for the Erickson Lightning at their show. Hopefully that is also in play for St. Louis.

I don't know anything specific about the P-38, but it has not been listed as a performer in the last several emails to ticket holders.

Assuming they're doing the same thing as last time (and I don't see why they wouldn't), the show line parallels runway 5/23 and faces southeast.

They were parked on a taxiway towards the north end of the crowd line at the last show, but I can't rememb...

Cause they still can’t get the hangar door open…wish I wasn’t kidding.

I would treat all alleged appearances by that museum's aircraft with skepticism for the rest of the year.

The show grounds at Selfridge are huge. If you don't feel like lugging a chair around, box seating would probably be a nice option. If you'd prefer to bring your own chair, there has always been plenty of space on the show line when I've attended.

Spent a hot and windy day at Breckenridge Saturday. Unfortunately, the extreme heat and severe weather kept away nearly all of the scheduled heavy iron warbirds, making for a rather disappointing day. There was severe weather all over Saturday night. Thankfully, the airport didn't get hit with anyth...
