B-17 "Yankee Lady" will be offering rides on Thursday & Sunday this year. Will be a display with tours available on Friday & Saturday.

TITAN Aerobatic Team will perform the Night Show on Friday (May 17th) and the Day Show on Saturday (May 18th)

The famous TBM Nighttime Engine Run-Up will occur after the Night Show on Friday. This will be followed by our first ever fireworks show to end the activities that day. Friday will also feature the beer garden and live music by "Reagle Beagle".

Other rides will be offered in T-6s and maybe a few surprises. A few other ride aircraft are being worked on and will be announced once firmed up.

As always, there will be a good turnout of warbirds and TBMs. Still quite some time before we have a good idea of what else will be coming.

Website will be updated in the coming week.

Glad to see "Yankee Lady" back. When the weather is good, this is one of my favorite events. Let's hope it cooperates again!

I would also assume that JP Mellor will be there with his T-6 Texan "Spanish Lady"

Tri-State Warbird Museum also participating as usual. Not sure if it's just the TBM or if they'll bring the B-25 again.
