Correct! Bruce Huddleston will be the AirBoss this year.Nate_Burrows wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 10:00 am they’re not running the show, the show just hired them to be an airboss since Scott Duck the usual airboss for the show is booked elsewhere that weekend.
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.

Decided to go overnight this year since I'm sick of being rained out on Saturday every year lol. What time do things typically start on Friday? Looks like 11 a.m. last year, with afternoon and evening shows, plus the night run.
