Or spending on the the jet truck. You would think the Military Aviation Museum in VA would throw them a bone and send a couple of planes as a thank you for selling the C-46 to them.

Looks like we won’t be seeing the Swamp Fox P-51 anymore.

Looks like the CAF will be bringing the Rise Above exhibit, but the P-51C is not coming with it.

An unannounced addition to the line-up, the CAF P-63A KingCobra has landed at Monroe.

It was semi-announced if you go back to last year. It was supposed to come last year and they had a mechanical that prevented them from coming. So they said they’d be back next year (this year).

Although weather didn't exactly cooperate for the Saturday show, it was still a good weekend at WOM. Seeing the P-63 up close and part of the flying was really neat. Here's a few of my highlights. Part 1 of 2.
