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.
