Nice to hear that they're still going to try to hold it.

Will be held July 24-25 at Hoosier Aviation in Terre Haute, Ind. and will coincide with the CAF Airpower History Tour stop. First good news in a while.

I will be there.

I'll be curious if this is an actual organized airshow with a box and such, or a warbird fly-in closer to how the TBM event started in the first place.

Yeah, format will be interesting to see. There's a lot of ramp space they can use to park airplanes at Terre Haute at least.

I'll just be happy for a couple days of warbirds and noise.

We made the formal announcement today and the plan is pretty much just to transplant the event. It will be very similar to how the event has been done in the past just with a larger ramp and CAF operations. It will still remain a City of Peru event (name will still be attached even in Terre Haute) and we plan to move back to Peru in 2021.

Still working out the rest of the details (participating aircraft etc...).
