Scott, when you say "we," what does that entail? It would be great to see you all out there! I'm sure you'll enjoy the event.

As it's alfull close to bomber camp I can't make any promises for the "follow me" jeep or even us. Taking a weeks vacation for bomber camp really strains folk's jobs.

Planning for this event is in full swing. There is a planning meeting scheduled for Unit Leaders and Airshow officals this month.
In addition to the CHG reenactor enacampments. The Air Show management and pilots would like to incorporate the CHG into the actual show, on the tarmac and in front of the crowd. This is a privledge being extend only to approved CHG members.
They are very keen on doing a Korean War battle. It would include a vehicle going out on to the Tarmac, getting strafed by a MIG on a first pass, firing back, popping smoke, then calling in air support before the second strafe. This is being motivated by the pilots who'd like to see us included in the main event.
Please contact your unit leaders for more information or to volunter your time and/or engery.

Please Note:
This event traditionally has those reenactors, who come dressed in their impressions and "walk the show". At one time you could come to the gate and say I'm with the band. But be aware that everyone pays admission unless you have an wristband.
These wristbands were suppose to be arranged and picked up by the various Unit Leaders at the planning meeting last weekend. If you want an wristband please contact your unit to see if [1] they are even going and [2] did they get armbands.

Here is some updated information: For starters we are back on our orginal spot that we used to be on in 2007. This spot is now real green grass, not that dusty dirt it once was. The area is on prime real estate, smack dab in the middle of all the traffic. We can't helped from being missed. Be ready for tons of foot traffic. Over the years Airport officals have increased security. So drive in and out times are important to be aware of. Drive in times - Before 7:00AM Drive out times - After 5:00PM But be aware by Friday Night, our reenactor area will be surrounded by tons of vendors and food stands. The area will be very congested. So it will be tight quarters. Parking will be in the Main Public Parking Lot. There is a vendor parking area, but this will fill up quickly. Also many of the vendors camp and sleep there with their tents and RV's. So figure all our people will be parking in the Public Parking Area. There is a tram which runs back and forth. But don't count on it to haul crap back and forth. You should consider dollies, carts, or wagons if you plan coming late or leaving early. Everyone needs a wristband. Some units picked their up already. If your guys show up, thinking just being dress-up will get them in Free, they will be in for a shock. New this year is the use of "Badges" for volunteers to go to the Lunch Tent. We can share these between ourselves as not everyone will be going to eat at the same time.  |

The area we will located is significant smaller than the area we all were last year. You're not going to have unlimited space to spread out. Your unit will probably be butted up next to another unit. This diagram show HYPOTHETICALLY what a layout of space MIGHT look like. This is not necessary the layout, but is show so they you may understand the limited space available  |

It's imperative that folks tighten things up and be courteous to your neighbors. The museum is trying to fit everyone in this spot. Otherwise, some folks will have to overflow to the old lot at the end. Bring what you need and had planned on, but please keep it tight and consolidated, even if there isn't anyone nearby you when you first arrive.
Thanks!
