Hey everyone,
Especially anyone from Wisconsin. It's that time of year for the annual Manitowoc, WI airshow. "Thunder On The Lakeshore"

http://www.thunderonthelakeshore.com/performers.html

If you haven't gone in a long time or have never gone, this is a can't miss show.
Best "bang for you buck" airshow going.

This year's show starts with a B-2 fly over!
The show always has a nice mix of warbirds, acro and military. And it's CHEAP!!!!! Get there around 9-9:30 and your out by 5:30. Good eats too!
Hope to see you there. The weather looks like it'll be good both days.

I'll be there!

Look for the doofus swinging around the 300mm lens...

There's a night show on saturday so it's probably going to be worth staying a bit later!

I'll be sitting right on the corner of the taxiway leading out to 35 (south end). That spot looks like it would be way off center, but actually it's almost airshow center. And the best part is that everyone taxi's right in front of you going out and coming in.
I'll be the guy sitting alone (buddy couldn't come last minute)with the cheap camera wishing had had the 300mm lens.

I saw the posters at work and was going to go but got an unexpected 4 day weekend so I drove home to catch up on the yard work. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. It doesn't seem to do so to often over there.
