Shut up- your going, its that easy :wink:
If you wish to see the Convair 880 nose its at the museum yard. Not at the show grounds.
Its under restoration and I'm a volunteer on it.

Museum yard....? Is that the one on the south side of the airport near the aeronautics school where the other Lockheed 402 is located?
Yeah, it's at the museum right next to the tower. It's in the back yard...although you can catch a glimpse of it from the parking lot.
Moose did you think it was worth it?
It was OK, not the best show around, but I'll probably go again this year (Of course, it's not like I have a life or anything :wink: )Quote:

The B-17 flew around the pattern several times. Don't remember anything else, although the airport was open, and you could see (and shoot) the regular operations as well.
I'm told there will be more aircraft to see and at a larger area.
What time does the Expo open?
Saturday 9-5Quote:

I went on Sunday 9/16/07. Many things were on exhibit, including some cars, an airport snow plow, and Batman. (I guess because he flies?) I'll also caption my photos this time.
The photos that follow are all unedited.
Enjoy!
Starting up that mighty engine.
