It's not about the ability which you lack.

I've heard it mispronounced so many times, it is not even funny anymore.

So what, are you a transplant, now? :D

You are all welcome to stop by for a beer. I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it this year. The offerings of the last few years were a bit lackluster... :(

If you have a local CAF squadron you can volunteer and get special rates.

CAF? You mean CAP?

I'm not a member of CAP so it will not be that easy. I doubt that discount will be anything significant, even if it will drop down to $500 I will really hesitate to spend that money on a passenger seat. I don't really mind paying more for a pilot seat, but I don't want to pay that kind of money to be a passenger.

It is usually bearable. As with all air shows, being on an airstrip, if you find some shade you should be fine.

The last time I was there, we were basking under the shade of a Storch. One of the only Luft planes that was there. :cry

its been the commemorative air force for almost 10 years now. It was changed in 2002 for political correctness.
