I was there on Tues. Traffic was much better then, but it still backed up at 8 heading into the parking lots.

It was good to see some uncommon Warbirds. In addition to the large group of P-51Ds, there were a couple of the early P-51A/Bs, a couple P-38s, a Hellcat, a Bearcat, and a FW190.

We spent some time at the Helicopter area, and saw a pretty neat 2-stroke light heli, along with a small turbine powered one.

Just walking around we saw and heard people from S. Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, France, and Germany. Saw a bunch of unusual Rutan-design aircraft as well as Burt himself standing by the Beechcraft Starship.

Tons of amazing aircraft and a real interesting and friendly crowd.
