Is that Warbirds Over The Beach date confirmed? If so, that probably becomes my fall trip. I've been wanting to go back there, but it always seems to conflict with the TBM Reunion. Nellis remains a slim possibility.

Also wondering if anyone has heard anything on the Waukegan/Northern Illinois Airshow. They've never been very good about keeping their website and social media up to date, but there's usually some info out there by now. The fact that they aren't on the Dacy schedule is concerning.

Not confirmed, more like educated guess at this point. I've wanted to go but it is mostly a backup in case base shows cancel this year.

I haven't heard anything about Waukegan, they seem to always pop up sort of late in the year though? Maybe that's just my impression.

Thanks for the info. I know Warbirds Over The Beach has traditionally been in the spring, but last year's was in the fall. Maybe that will become a permanent move as it seems like they've had consistently bad luck with weather during May. The year I went, the runway was too soft for many flight ops so I didn't get to see much in the air.

I'm not sure what to think about Waukegan. Their information is always late through their own website and social media, but they've used Dacy for their services for as long as I can remember. It's surprising not to see Waukegan on their schedule. It would be a real bummer to lose that show.

Mine plans are pretty much set now:

April 2-3 - Shaw AFB
April 9 - Purdue Aviation Day
May 21 - TBM Reunion
June 11-12 - Spirit of St. Louis
July 25-28 - Oshkosh
September 3 - Marion Fly-In/Cruise-In
September 30 - October 2 - Warbirds Over The Beach

Maybe:
June 25-26 - Airshow 50, pending border quarantine/testing protocols. I don't have enough vacation days to sit around a hotel if border restrictions change.
August 20 - Coles County Airshow (Mattoon). Not much info available yet and not sure if it will be worthwhile.
September 24 - Tri-State Warbird Museum Flying Warbirds Showcase
