I've been to this event several times and am planning on going with my son again this year. Would anyone else be interested in going?

This event differs greatly from other "air shows" in that it has a massive amount of ground features. 200 vehicles, reenactments, some dude with a WWII flame thrower he uses, tons of camps set up just like you'd see in the war that you can walk through with reenactors that actually know their Crap and are happy to tell you about the stuff. Tons of genuine gear, weapons, and tools used in the era.

Of course they have the air show as well that goes on at the same time. Many WWI and WWII aircrafts. Roster here: http://www.maam.org/wwii/ww2_acft.htm



If you stay in to the evening, they bust out the AA search light. For those interested, the museum hosting the show is restoring a P-61 Black Widow which when done, will be the only flyable one in the world. It's on display in it's current state at the event: http://www.maam.org/p61.html

$23 for an adult ticket for 1 day (planes only fly on saturday). Parking is free and they have shuttle service.

Anyone interested?

Better bring my med bag! Thankfully, I've never had this happen at the ~12 air shows I've been to.

Before I scrolled down enough to see you say "search light," I totally thought that was some kind of space laser and I was all "HELL YEAH LASERS!!!!"

I always thought of lasers as very violent search lights
