Title: WWII weekend/airshow at Mid Atlantic Air Museum, Reading PA
Post by: Fatman on April 26, 2010, 04:36:49 PM
Here's the link for anyone interested.  I went last year and it was quite the experience.  Bought my son a piece of the Black Widow to support the museum's effort to restore it to flying status - it will be the only air-worthy P-61 in the world!

Click on the 'Roster' bomb to see the aircraft scheduled, and the 'Brochure' bomb for pricing and event times.

New plane this year

...and the P-61 is supposed to be on the tarmac w/ its booms in place - big change from this last year:

Rides on the bombers/dive bombers are available, as well as in one of the Mustangs this year. Costs an arm and a leg, wish I had the cash  :)  http://www.maam.org/wwii/ww2_rides.htm (http://www.maam.org/wwii/ww2_rides.htm)


Oh, yeah, some fire fights and of course the US, Brit, Russian, and German camps.  You  can handle the equipment/firearms in many cases.
