I left the show Sunday just after noon and wasnt able to see all of the event. I do know that a Marchetti crashed while leaving the airshow. The airplane looked like a L-19 Bird Dog with a turboprop. The pilot and passenger were OK according to the local newspaper.
I included some opinion in my previous post about the disappointing warbird turnout this year for various reasons. I do understand the logistics in bringing together an airshow like this and the expenses in owning and operating warbirds. I did enjoy the airshow, I am just used to seeing more airplanes there.
