July is always an exciting month to fly in during the season. The second weekend is the Greatest Show on Turf/Thunder in the Cornfield/one of my favorite shows to fly at, Geneseo NY. Excited to return there again this year! #p51 #mustang #mustangsofinstagram #avgeek #instagramaviation #horsepower #flying #awesome #history

The Museums latest news letter still has this show as tentative
National Warplane Museum - Geneseo Airshow
A big part is the gov't and whether A) they allow the event and B) if the limitations placed upon our operation of an airshow in Geneseo make it not viable.

Just heard today that the 2021 airshow is a go.
In 2019, my plane was just a static display.
It's gonna fly in the show this year.

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

Given that NYS relaxed their event restrictions several weeks ago I'm not sure why they can't get their permit updated to reflect the current guidelines and host a "normal" show. I cannot justify spending $150 to drive myself into a spot behind the VIP line and miss out on the best and most important part of Geneseo...interacting with the pilots (many of whom I talk to every year) and seeing the performing aircraft up close.
