Just was at the Millville show,May 9-10. WOW what an amazing show. Got to talk with some
of the group after the show both Sat & Sun. An old (76) retired physics, I enjoyed their quick tour and explanation of the F/A-18F Super Hornet. Also got a chance to show them my race car – 1967 McKee Mk7. Thank You for a wonderful and memorable weekend. I only live 14 mi. from Millville and remember watching planes practice target shooting at the base in WW2
