Not sure which day looks better in regards to weather. It looks like a good chance of rain Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Glad I took the day off to go to the practice show. Found the airboss on 121.175.

So...Lol... as expected--- granted it was practice, many of the acts were not there.

No F35s
No Bombers
No Hawkeye
No Chinook
No space shuttle
No Heritage
I didn't see the P8 (did see it take off from airport) or Navy helos

What makes me frustrated, is that more than likely, they know at least 3 weeks out if these acts are not making it or not. It feels like a gimmick to sell tickets.

Looks like a P-51 landed at Milwaukee not sure if it’s for the heritage or if it’s for EAA
