If you lost a little weight you could have got a smaller size.

It's a size, not a weight.   :aok

Must be a popular size and hard to estimate how many might sell.   Did you see Mad Max?

5'10" and 170lb will wear a different size than 5'10" and 250lb.

The wife and I were there today... good time. Not what it used to be.  The A-10 was awesome as usual.

So will a person 6'10" and 170 lbs.or 250 lbs. You might just as well tell him to get shorter or taller.

Well lets see, Back in 2013 I almost went up to waist 38 but didn't. Recently I've been able to fit into my almost 30 year old black Levi cords with a 34 waist so I don't think weight is a problem. But this was discussed and is close to being filed in the deceased equine category.

Must be a popular size and hard to estimate how many might sell.   Did you see Mad Max?

Yes, and here's the stupid Pudding Head fuzeman part, I walked around the planes with a beer saying hello to all the girls as I walked past them.
Don't know about you but I see them, warbirds, as feminine, and I go up to the cowls, give them a tap and say 'hello girl' to most of the planes there. Mad Maxine maybe?
Then I went to renew membership and buy merch.
Did you happen to see the dozens of small and medium t-shirts that didn't sell from last year on the discount table?
And....  the dozens of small and medium t-shirts from this years show that weren't selling that will be discounted next year.
Same stupid strategy year after year.   I'm || close to going back and cancelling my membership. Definitely going back to return the shirts I did buy so nephews aren't getting them, Joker isn't in return for his old CH setup he sent me, and a guy in Texas who sent me P-38 weathervane plans wont. Have to go to plan B there I guess.

The wife and I were there today... good time. Not what it used to be.  The A-10 was awesome as usual.

Except for the special attractions like the A-10s they bring in it's pretty much the same show year after year with little twists it seems. I know they want attendance but way to much kiddie stuff around now IMO. Then again I'm single with no offspring :D

At least I didn't loose my cell phone.  :aok  While looking around the t-shirts I look down and see my phone on the ground and securely behind the belt loop the clip that used to hole it on.

I grew up on the Confederate Air Force Airsho’s (sic) of the 1970s and 1980s in Harlingen, Texas.    Nothing on earth before or since has ever approached them.   It ruined me for life.

Having gone through a blood clot incident that landed me in ICU which included my weight rocketing up to 300lb. And insurance statistics about American baby boomer average girth. Until I finally got rid of 50lb, I couldn't wear T-shirts smaller than XL-XXL depending on the cut. And I'm 6ft and normally 200-225. So if that airshow was over represented by baby boomers and even gen-x, they didn't have enough XL anything you drape over your abundant adipose.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I haven't been to the Geneseo airshow in over 25 years, when the National Warplane Museum was still there (is it still HAG there now?).  Last airshow I worked there, they had 6 B-17s, a B-24 and a Lancaster on the line.

Love the Confederate Air Force. I still call them that.

My membership card changed from 1941 HAG to National Warplane Museum between 2014 and 2015 so they got it back around then.

Same here.   I’ll never call them by.....that other name.

It is an airshow not a fashion show.
