Roger on the Midwest being the heart of where the action is. I have to travel a long way to participate in a good WWI meet. Living left of the big river puts you pretty far from the action. There are plenty of Warbird fly ins but strictly Dawn Patrol activity is rare. There used to be one at The Old Kingsbury Airdrome near San Antonio and I held one at Bomber Field for three years but lack of participation caused them to go away. I went to Fla. for the Blue Max in Jan this year and am going to Dayton in Sept for the DPR 100 year Commemorative meet but a lot of long distance travel is hard on a fixed income.
