WWII weekend!!!

[nazgulAX]

It's that time of year again , and the mid-atlantic air musem in Reading, PA. is having it's WWII weekend!
It will be held June 3-4-5 click the link at the bottom of the page for more info.
It's a great time, and they have some great planes there every year, as well as full incampments with 100's of re-inactors complete with real M16's , Lvt's, Fp's and numerous trucks jeep and vintage motorcycles.
Some of the planes include:
B-17
3 yes 3 -B25's
yak-9
51's
tbm's
wildcat
hurri
bearcat
hellcat
spit
p-38
snj's{T-6}there were 8 of these that did formation flying last year! 8 radials screaming by 100 ft off the deck is an awsome sound!!!!!
And the air museum is in the middle of restoring what will be the ONLY flyable P-61 Blackwidow!!! Come and see the progress that has already been made on this rare WWII bird.

If anyone from the arena is already planing to go, let me know and we can get together at the resturant at the airport and knock back a couple! It sits right next to the runway, and you can watch the planes take-off and land while having a beer....what could be better!

I'm generally there for one of the days. Always a good time and its great oppurtunity to meet each other too.

Hopefully the weather will be better than last year.

I won't be able to attend this year, my wife and I are in Jamaica during that weekend.

Anyone that goes get lots of pics.

[Paul]

Eh, I'll go...

time for a roadtrip!

[Nefarious]

Oh Man,

I swore up and down, I would attend last years.

I looked ahead on my work schedule, and I have the 4th and 5th off.

Looks Iffy, but I'll try.

[nazgulAX]

Let me know what day you guys will be going and maybe we can meet up for a beverage, and shoot the bull. I work a 1/2 mile from the airport, and will be going all 3 days prolly.

[Curval]

I am persona non grata in Reading, PA.

Long story.

[iKo]

I will be going and will go on the 5th Sun in less bad weather on Sun and Sat would be better have some friends that work on Sat that want to go so it looks like Sun.

[AKDogg]

It has worked out well in the past to meet outside the officers' club at a particular time, for example, 1:00 p.m.

Drano is your best bet for organizer - he has the t-shirt with his name on it.
