The group was divided into two sections this year.  The WWII vehicles and equipment were setup on the inside of the taxi way where everyone was last year.  It was a VERY impressive display complete with GP's, vehicles, German encampments/vehicles and everyone dressed in period correct uniform.  It was the largest collection of WWII items Central Texas has seen to date!   The post-war vehicles were placed in the crowd area behind food vendors at the bus stop.  NOT a very good place this year and there will be some serious discussion as to placement for next year.  There are pros and cons of placement in a totally secure area or in the spectator area many of which will be discussed at our next meeting.

Most of the club arrived on Friday and setup in the clouds and rain.  The Friday evening events were not as good as in the past, especially the "wall of fire" which was more of a dud due to the rains.  Saturday's crowds were thin with a low deck for the show.  The impressive items included the F16 and F18 displays.  Only one B17 was present along with a single B25 and one A26.  The trainers were in force but the large hardware wasn't.  Then the rains started and the crowd thinned.

Sunday was quite different from the previous day regarding the weather.  Light mist gave way to sunshine which made the show more fun for most.  We were surprised at the number of people who leave the show after the TORA TORA TORA show.  The WWII guys put on a fantastic reenactment and a B2 bomber did 4 or 5 passes over the show.  Just how a wing only flies was the discussion of the day!
