We don't see much in the way of older warbirds here in Oregon so this is a chance to get up close and personal. If it's like years past, they'll do flybys and demo flights several times a day. If you've never been inside a B-17 or B-24, this is your chance. They are getting more and more rare so don't know how many more years you'll have the opportunity. If you like the sound of radial engines and the sweet music from a Rolls Royce Merlin engine, you'll get your fix here. It's going on Saturday and Sunday.
There's an RV club that also does some formation flying if they can make it this year. Pretty impressive, even more so from a group of civilian owners flying homebuilt aircraft. I think a lot of the members are from the Independence airport.
