10th Annual Warbirds Over Iowa
This is the 10th Annual event, and features special trophies. The event is one day (Saturday, July 20th), but in the case of windy or bad weather the event will be held on Sunday. Special trophies feature hardwood replicas of a B-17, P-40, and P-47 (see photos). The field is capable of handling large aircraft and we have had good participation from some of the best Warbird pilots in the area.
I'll be monitoring this thread, so let me know if you have any questions.
