Anyone know if there will be a private show on Friday?

Also wondering what the police/security is like for people shooting from outside the fence (probably on the south side of the field)

Thanks

Is the F-4 even ready to fly yet? I haven't seen an update since it failed ground checks.

There will almost certainly be a practice show on Friday, yes.

When I've spotted there in the past they were pretty quick about getting a sheriff to come chase us away. If you park back in the subdivision you might be able to hang out as long as the neighbors don't complain, especially if a group forms to watch.

I would have to guess that this AMAZING A-10 will be part of the show. I just came across this on Facebook a few minutes ago and my jaw is still on the floor!

All were on first post. The P-40 and P-39 both coming from the same wing.

What's the layout/orientation of the show? We've never attended and are wondering where to setup for photos.

Thanks!
