Road closures are tied to the TFR so 10am should be the first closure. You can always take US12 around to the west side of the airport instead and avoid the closure.smalldude333 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 1:38 amI plan on going to the grass field off of Tyler Road tommorow.

If so, does anyone know if they will be practicing during the morning time slot as if they were in the show, or will it be later in the day? I saw the time slots for both the morning and afternoon practice sessions tomorrow, but just didn't know how true to the show scheduled it would be.

There’s one of two surprises already on site at Willow Run - Tom Reilly’s ‘Killer B’ the second one I will keep secret.
Two more unfortunate mechanical drops, Betty’s Dream and Berlin Express won’t be making it.
Looking like 14 possibly 15 B-25’s this weekend.

Hey Ryan - Do you know if this grassy area off Tyler Road will be open or closed for show day on Saturday? My plans fell through to attend both Saturday and Sunday so I was just going to watch the show from Ecourse on Saturday, but wondering if Tyler Road would be an option also. Appreciate you sharing all this info!RyanS wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 1:42 amRoad closures are tied to the TFR so 10am should be the first closure.

Not sure, if it is open Friday I imagine it will be Saturday and Sunday also but I have never tried. I think there is a lot more interest in watching from off site this year due to the steep pricing so I think any spot that is open will get pretty crowded. The good news is you should be able to use the west side of the airport to move between Tyler and EcorseEricP wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 12:32 pmHey Ryan - Do you know if this grassy area off Tyler Road will be open or closed for show day on Saturday?

Just drove by Ecorse, the side road looks completely blocked off unless I’m missing something? Currently sitting in the Tyler grass but the wind isn’t favoring landings overhead at the moment.

I'm in the grass field, rocking my Heart Camera Planes shirt with my scanner on a speaker. Say hi if you see me!

Well that’s concerning. I was planning on Ecourse for tomorrow. Driving up from Ohio tonight.

Good points. I was figuring the same as far as being crowded. I will probably do Ecourse but knowing that is another option is good…especially if they did close off Ecourse.RyanS wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 12:44 pmNot sure, if it is open Friday I imagine it will be Saturday and Sunday also but I have never tried.
