Correct! Bruce Huddleston will be the AirBoss this year.

We’ll be about the same size as last year (hopefully getting the full Saturday in for once). We’re finalizing a preliminary list of performers and aircraft and will have some announcements by early next week. This doesn’t include some fly-in surprises either.

Plan is to have a full show on Friday that leads into the Night Air Show and then TBM Night Run Up. We’ll have a concert on Friday night as well, plus a beer garden. Then the full day on Saturday.

Yankee Air Museum will be back with the B-17G Flying Fortress “Yankee Lady”. We are finalizing ride details with them and those will eventually go on sale once finalized.
