July 23-29, the BEST week of the year! Warbirds, vintage, homebuilts, seaplanes, helicopters- if it flies, it’s there! Lots of great workshops, airshows, stuff for kids, etc. - in addition to 10,000 or so aircraft.
I’ll be there Thursday with my dad, and by myself on Friday.

That would be so cool. Alas, I have to go on vacation.

I’m probably not going even though I believe I live the nearest of all Oppos :D

July 15 to August 2. Close to WI, but not close enough for a quick road trip. :(

Nice! Have you gone on Sunday in the past? I’m wondering if a decent number of aircraft have left by then, or if it’s still pretty full.
I’m partial to the weekdays, myself- less of a crowd. Enjoy!

Indy, I presume? It’s only 5 1/2 hours’ drive!

Yeah, that’s not quick enough. I’ll have to live vicariously through your photo dump.

No, I was there on Saturday last year. I would have liked to be there on Saturday, but I can’t make it this year.
Did you watch the flybys on Saturday last year? B1, B5 2, F35, B2, F22 *gets goosebumps*
I envy you, weekdays are perfecto!

I should do better this year- I’ll be there 2 days instead of 1, plus I know where to charge my dumb phone during the day (last year it died a couple of hours before I left the show).

I was there during the week last year - Thursday, I think? I did see 1 of the B-29's in the air- while I was inside of the other one. But didn’t see the flybys you’re referring to.

Not this time. Went for the full week in 16, need to do it again.

I’ll be there 2 days this year, which I think is the first time I’ve pulled that off.
Would like to stretch to the full week once my son is old enough to enjoy it. Camp Scholler FTW!
