I finally have a chance to write! I had a great time in Goshen and I am very glad to see the show had a huge turnout. The weather certainly helped. I can only imagine what a nightmare traffic was, but that is kind of a given with only a two lane road in and out.

The warbird lineup was refreshing, and certainly there were some rare sights like the Wildcat/Skyraider/Bearcat formation. The two Bearcats would have been amazing but maybe next year. I am not a huge fan of parking planes in front of the crowd, but with such limited ramp space I can understand why. Hopefully it wasn't too big of an issue for people. I do wish the planes had continued flying a little later, the intermission happened right when the photos would have been the best. But I was glad to have the intermission so I could set up for fireworks, which were awesome! Thanks to Erin for hosting me, and everyone else who helped put it together. I will be coming back for as many years as the show runs!

Not sure I'm happy with the colors on this one - may end up tweaking it a bit but here it is for now!

Of course! I'm kind of bouncing around as I edit so I haven't finished any acts yet.
