Re: Geneseo airshow...any one else going??

Awesome pics Steve!  THanks for posting them.

I was there from about 9 to 1:30ish on Sat.  My in-laws went Sunday and they got rained out.  I guess they only stay for about a half an hour and only got to see the L-birds fly a circuit or two before punching out.  They were extremely disappointed.

Was it me, or were the vendors more "gougy" then usual?

Re: Geneseo airshow...any one else going??

Glad you like the pix Justen... here's some more...

 

I was also slightly disappointed that there weren't more P-40s. More than a dozen were invited, but having kept track of the confirmations through various sources I figured a realistic number was 4-6. One Hawk I really wanted to see, and which I was sure would be there, was Ron Fagen's P-40K... oh well, another time and another place perhaps...

This may sound strange coming from a P-40 nut, but I was more disappointed with the lack of bombers, especially the mediums. This is the first Geneseo show I recall without a single B-25 present...

Justen, I can't say all that much about the vendors... I didn't really check 'em out this year. They're always pretty high, as they have a captive audience. I do have to say though, that the gals walking around with water were fairly reasonable in charging $2 a bottle. Reasonable for an airshow, mind you... not reasonable in general! LOL 

I think instead of posting more images in this thread, I'll just post a link to my flickr photostream...
