Jay- Think you'll make it to our fly-in June 2 ? That's a week from tomorrow. Anyone else in the area of Hickory NC is also invited. It's our 5th annual Warbirds over Wilson Field; an any-size warbird event, no IMAA required, but AMA is. We'll have the local VFD cooking and serving drinks, they keep all those proceeds. $10 landing fee, 50-50 and probably some stuff to raffle. Our field has 900 feet of paved runway and a parallel grass runway the same length. Our CD has said in the AMA magazine ad that we weren't allowing turbines, although I wonder. One of our club members just got an F-16 and I'm betting he'll want to fly it. We had about 30 pilots last year and a couple hundred spectators. Right now, the weather looks great for the weekend.

BTW, our definition of warbird extends to any plane used as a trainer or impressed service, so bring your Waco's, they don't have to be in warpaint. Just can't put stars on a Kadet Sr or 40% Edge, etc. and show up.
