I really enjoyed the show. The hightlight was seeing the P-39 fly again. It flew in the show and several times before the weekend. As always it was great to see the F8F, LB-30, I-16, Shackelton, (3) F4U's (3) B-25's, B-17, P-63, P-51D, P-51C ect... True several planes were down with maintance problems. These included the B-29, SB2C and F6F. However, as Tim has mentioned earlier there are issues the C.A.F. needs to address. Perhaps in the near future these can be resolved allowing warbird owners that wish to attend to do so. That said, the C.A.F. has one of the finest airshows anywhere and has the potential to become the best warbird show in the world.
