Rob et al--
I should've read the other posts! Evidently a number of WIXers do indeed remember the '91 Geneseo event (and several similar gatherings at Wadsworth's).
Have to agree with Eric about the Lanc's long-awaited debut in '88, too. Particularly memorable was the public "first flight" that Sept 24; they expected a couple thousand visitors (yeah, right!)--and some twenty thousand turned up, with traffic backed up down Hwy#6 for miles. Beautiful clear afternoon, highlight of the day a three-plane of the Lanc, Hurricane and Cliff Robertson's Spit. I've always looked back on that day as being the absolute zenith of CWH...
