As in prior years, I will be the event announcer for the Yankee Air Force's Air Display 2003 "Thunder Over Michigan" being held at Willow Run Airport near Detroit, Michigan on Saturday and Sunday, August 9th and 10th. Our event website is http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/airdisplay/air_display.htm My I suggest using the announcers stand as the WIXers meeting place? I believe it will be once again located on the grass near the hangar. There will be plenty of shade and cold water available and a place to set your "stuff". I can make announcements over the PA and provide a clipboard for everyone to "sign in". I would suggest some kind of highly visible name tag or ribbon that we can attach to our hat or belt loop to aid in identifying WIX members amongst the crowd. Let me know what you think!
I strongly recommend everyone who is even slightly interested to attend our "World War II Aviation Symposium". The scheduled guests this year include Brigadier General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager, Colonel Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson, and Luftwaffe ace General Gunther Rall. We are sure this event will be a sellout and that there will NOT be any tickets available the weekend of the event. Get your tickets now!!!
Feel free to contact me off board at the above email address if you have any questions or I can be of any assistance.
