| Return of the Big Bombers @ Anoka Cnty Airport For those Minnesotans on the board that were not aware of this the Collings Foundation will be bringing 4 Warbirds into the Anoka County Airport in Blaine this coming weekend (July 11th thru 14th). Will be offering rides in a B-17, B-24, B-25, and a TP-51C Dual seat Mustang. For a small fee (depending on your income) of coarse  Look for them at the Golden Wings Museum just off Cnty Rd 10. ABC Newspapers - World War II big bombers will visit Blaine this week

| I'm going to head over tonight and get some pictures without the crowds. Have some nasty weather moving in for the evening so that may change plans. Will be there on Saturday though. Will get some pics I'm sure.

 Hey Buck, can the public practice bomb runs on Al Franken & his "Sex Robots"? Is there an extra charge for that?

A strafing run in the dual P-51 would be fun as well, but $2200-$3300 is a b it beyond my funding right now.

| What parts of the Great White North do you eminate from Freebird? Just wondering how far away you were from Duluth, MN? Big airshow next weekend in Duluth, Blue Angels, Snowbirds (I think) and a beautiful P-51, P-38, and P-40 will be there. They are owned by a Minnesota Businessman that had them rebuilt and they are awesome birds.

| I'll have to look up the dates. Wings of the North usually puts on a show in August, not sure about this year. Minnesota CAF says there is a show on Labor Day weekend, but there are no details.
