Waltz41 Posted June 16, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2016 Another show in the books! Always a great time, even with mother nature not cooperating 100%, although we did luck out with not as much rain as they were predicting. Big bummer though, was the P-38 and Bf-109 being no shows, along with 4 or 5 other aircraft. The P-38 apparently had the pilot get sick and there was no backup pilot ready to bring it, and not sure about the 109. The Mosquito though did make the trip, along with a Spitfire from MAM in Virginia Beach, but the Spitfire only flew on Friday. Here's some photos I took.

Waltz41 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted June 16, 2016 Not as sharp as I would of liked it, but I enjoyed the composition of this shot with Reading's famous Pagoda in the background with the P-51 on final for landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how many people come into our camp and automatically say, Oh cool, Marines! Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltz41 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share #22 Posted June 18, 2016 Thank you everyone for the kind words and taking a look. Dave, we saw so many reeanctors pull out late Saturday early Sunday. By about 1 pm on Sunday, I swear half of them were gone. Of course we lucked out with no rain....untill literally 20 min left of our tear down when we got destroyed by that storm that came through. It hit the airport around 4:30-5 I think. The rain was slapping me so hard in the face it hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STG44 Posted July 11, 2016 Share #25 Posted July 11, 2016 Great pictures. I was there all day on Friday. The weather was lousy but it could have been worse. We still had a great time as usual. Here's a picture I took of a WWII 101st Airborne vet in the passenger seat of a Jeep. He was pretty popular with the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
