Yes there is and we are looking into contacting that place to maybe arrange rides in some of those WW I aircraft that weekend, trying to work out a deal.........more to follow
Well my plane isn't vintage but if you weigh 200 lbs or less and aren't claustrophobic, I can give rides if I make it up there. (Pants are required)

I'm in Gulfport, ms. That's a 6 hour drive give or take from me.. I should be able to make it.
I'll be driving as $60 in gas is cheaper than a $800 plane ticket :rofl

Hmmm, very interesting. :noid Not too far from Pensacola. Me and my alter ego's might have an interest in crashing the party.
We could car pool as we live in somewhat close proximity.
And I know there's another ah member that I believe lives here in Biloxi down the high way 15 minute

I hear that the pants rule was the result of one unfortunate summer incident wherein a spatula was required to separate a passenger from the seat.

The true story is that the control stick for the plane was mistaken for the "other stick" and, due to similar placement and exuberance both provide, almost resulted in disaster.
