Nice work John! I still plan on attending this year assuming the event get the go ahead from the government. Hopefully we’ll be there by August.

Looks like they have a very tentative weekend picked of July 31 thru August 2nd as of 4/24/2020. Though a lot has to happen before they can commit to it. If it happens and my baseball team has it's season cancelled (will happen they just haven't announced it yet), I will see if I can make it down. Will need help in getting those photo specials.

Or, @mSummers, will you be working any shows this year if they get the go ahead?

I plan to be at Reading WWII Weekend if it happens at the currently proposed dates. Hotel is booked in hopes of it actually happening. I got invited to join a reenactor group this year so I’ll be splitting my time between the flight line and the French village. If you end up going, John and I can fill you in on all the tips for Reading.

Also planning to attend Thunder Over Michigan for the night engine run on Saturday and the Sunday show. I have a commitment Saturday morning that prevents me from doing both full days. However if that commitment gets cancelled, I’ll fly out Friday and do both days.

I will probably be there in July/August if it happens.

Carlisle Ford Nationals has now been moved to the same weekend. I was hoping to go that event, too. Wonder if I make it to both? Probably be too much.
