Both Glacier Girl and Porky II flew during the warbird portion of the show! It was extremely kool to say the least! Flying with the P-38's were the B-17, B-24, a couple of Mustangs, the JU 52 and the Hellcat. This was one of the most interesting shows I have been to with the Thunderbirds, the Blue Angels and the Snowbirds all flying each of the 4 days. There were even fly bys by the U-2 and the B-2. The crowds on Saturday and Sunday were almost overwhelming! I heard one estimate on Saturday of 300k but I dont think there were quite that many people. I do know that interstates 70 and 75 were backed up for miles with people trying to get to the show and the parking lots on Saturday were completely filled. The military had just about everything in the inventory either flying during the show or on static display. It definately was a good time!
