Sounds as though regular tickets will go on sale soon, if not already, and all drive in tickets will be refunded. Will be great to have a normal show again.

This is fantastic news!

I'd really love to attend but $165 for half a day of flying for just me isn't worth it. I do hope some non-drive-in style shows are available for those of us that don't have a carload of aviation-minded friends.

So much of what Geneseo is involves being up close with the pilots and aircraft.

I had the same reaction initially, but I'm going to attend any shows that I can (this one is a several hour flight away from me ...

Pittsburgh’s 911th Airlift Wing (USAF Reserves) announced flyovers for Memorial Day with their C-17 of the counties surrounding Pittsburgh.
