I am trying to get up there for it.  If I go I am likely picking up Airflyer.

Does anyone know what types of planes will be flying in to Reading for this event? In the past this has been a fun weekend, I haven't attended in years though.

http://www.maam.org/wwii/ww2_acft.htm

And peruse the comprehensive site here:  http://www.maam.org/maamwwii.html

If you've been there before, you'll probably be there this year.  It's where I met Shane, Mosca, Drano, Rino and others.

If you've never been there before:  go.  Don't worry about which planes will be there.  Just go.
