Reading, PA airshow. A gathering of warbirds

[bobbysocks]

i was playing the other night with a guy who also lives in PA and he had no clue about this really good airshow. so i am posting this for anyone close to the area. its worth seeing. there are great planes, displays, re-enactments, etc. oh, and you can get a ride in a mustang...prices start @ $1495.00 for 20 minutes. i am going to be there saturday and trying to get some of the boys from the 357th to come out.

ive been thinking about going for a couple of years now.i went to lancaster's air show last year and the p51 was a no show.reading's is bigger and not much further for me.have you been there before bobbysocks?

[bobbysocks]

yeah, was there a couple years ago with dad. its a great show. more than just planes. there are refurbished old german, brit, etc motorcycles ( tons of them )...a guy brought a tiger tank he made ( from what i dont know but it looked cool ). they have a mock french village where re-enactors play out a battle. when we went it was stinking hot and these guys were wearing those wool uniforms. they had working machine guns that fired blanks. then there were the planes! bucket, unless they F'ed it up this year it is well worth the trip. if you decide to head over let me know. i'll give you my cell phone and buy you a beer or something. i think cryptic was thinking of showing up as well..
