Unfortunately I can't make it..... but there is an airshow at Boire Field in Nashua, NH (KASH) this Saturday and Sunday.  Sponsored by the aviation school at Daniel Webster College.  They always have a TON of WWII aircraft flying and on display.  And rides in them too.... if you can afford it.

Enjoy it for me.

I'm gonna research that, but... got a link?

Nope.  KASH is on Airnav....... look for links.

Try searching "Aviation Heritage Festival" or "Daniel Webster College".

"... in honor of the 60th anniversary of the ending of the war, .......will assemble the widest collection of period planes (WWII) ever seen in the area....."

Scheduled to appear....among others:

P-38J Lightening piloted by Steve Hinton

"Sprit of Freedom" C-54 transport from the Berlin Airlift

"Witchcraft" B-24   (flights available)

"Nine o' Nine"  B-17G  (flights available)

The college's flight simulator will be available to visitiors.

They in the past had current military jets ... but with the US military budget cutbacks on such events... who knows if there will be the same stuff this year.

Hope someone gets to it.  Let us all know.

Hey, those two aircraft were the same ones I recently saw at my local airfield!

Guess they are running the circuit!  ;)

Hey,  If anybody is going you need to get some pictures
of the P-38.  Not many flying these days.  Please

According to the press kit there are only 5 airworthy ones left flying.

Checked the site... P38 is down with engine trouble; won't be there.
But I might drive up anyway... wish I could fly there, but I can't take the 172 for the whole day.  Too bad- it'd be a lot quicker to fly there, and a helluva lot more fun...

BTW; anyone definitely going? If anyone in the NYC area is driving up, perhaps we could carpool...

Got up real early, planning to drive up (9 hrs RT? No big...)- then I checked the info again... the show itself is only about two hours. Not worth it.
Think I'll go to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in LI instead today... never been there.
