Nice to see Placid Lassie, they have been talking about coming down to this event for the past several years and this is the first time that they are on the roster.

This will be my fifth year in a row booking a hotel for this, and I have yet to actually be able to attend. Hopefully this will finally be the year! Good start to the warbird lineup.

Couple additions this weekend, including the CAF National Capital Squadron TBM Avenger and the CAF Jayhawk Wing UC-78 Bobcat. Hoping for another fighter or two - maybe something from American Airpower Museum, the Duffy collection or Military Aviation Museum?
