Airshow roster has been updated. It looks like we've lost the C-46 and B-25 Rosie's Reply, as far as the heavy iron.

WWII Weekend this year was fantastic! Perfect weather and attendance by most of the aircraft. Unfortunately, in addition to previously announced scratches, the C-47 Second Chance and the TBM Doris Mae both did not make it. Additionally, the CAF SB2C, the Yankee Air Museum B-17, and the Vintage Wings C-53 all had various engine problems throughout the weekend. The CAF FG-1D also hit a bird on Friday causing minor damage. On the positive side, the CAF B-24 and B-29 as well as the CAF P-63 and the MAM P-39 both flew some very unique formation passes. The P-63 and P-39 then teamed up with the CAF P-51 and AAM P-40 for some formation passes as well. The big surprise for the show was Tom Duffy's FG-1D, formerly owned by the Texas Flying Legends Museum. All in all an awesome year in Reading!
