UH-1 Huey and AH-1 Cobra rides

Was checking in on this one as a possibility for this weekend, and it looks like there have been some lineup changes. Looks like the Heritage Flight, Cliff Robinson and B-25 rides have been dropped. I was considering doing this one Saturday to catch the A-10 and then heading up to Chicago Sunday, but I think I'll probably sit this one out.

New additions to the performer list per website are the AH-1 Cobra and UH-1 Huey from the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation and the T-6 Texan "Spanish Lady".

Hmm, if the Skyraider is flying, maybe I'll go after all. A heavy warbird in the show makes it more worth the drive - and it's hard to argue with a free airshow.

I'm planning to make the trip tomorrow. The weather looks way more promising in Mattoon than it does in Chicago. Hopefully, the rain and thunderstorms will hold off until after the flying concludes. Looking forward to checking this one out!

Great little show today. Light rain in the am opened up to sunny afternoon skies. Everything was advertised except the b-25 wasn’t able to show through no fault of their own.
