Country: | Thanks Pb, I got to see the Hurricane I believe the last time but the P-40 - that I can't wait. The last time a He 111 was also supposed to be there but it wasn't. Still a great place to go. Giving up McGuire this weekend for it. 
You ought to jump in Marseilles crate and take a trip down!

Some one mentioned the He-111. The one flown by the CAF (actually a
Spanish CASA) crashed killing both men on board, and totally destroyed
the aircraft. I don't know if there are any others flying or not.

Country: | Drink LOTS of water and if you get real hot, find the shade of an airplane wing. A lot of people got hit with the heat at Chino this year. Also grab some lip balm. I have had many times when I remembered the sunscreen, didn't burn anywhere, except my lips. That hurts!

Country: | I've got chairs that I've modified with umbrellas that I got at a dollar store. Work great! I was hoping the cooler bit would have gone away by now - guess not.
I've done the broiling on the tarmac bit before.
