Does anyone know if there is an air show someplace this weekend in any Northwestern states. Saw five older military war planes headed in formation headed west when I came in for lunch today. All were old prop planes, the leader a double prop, was kinda cool seeing them fly over. I don`t get to see them very often, so was very neat, so I would guess thats were they were headed. > Thanks Marc

Hi, Marc.

This list

MILAVIA Air Show Calendar 2012 - North American Air Shows 2012

looks pretty inclusive, but doesn't mention anything for this coming weekend northwest of Illinois.

Have you ever been to the Stearman Fly-In in Galesburg, Illinois?

I love seeing the planes overhead. If I wave as they fly over, they dip their wings and "wave" back!

Best wishes,

Kathy

Thunder over Louisville is today. They have a big airshow. Maybe they were headed there.

The National Museum of the USAF in Dayton OH had a flyover to commemorate the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders. Maybe you saw them, or some others headed up to see it? Or I guess I should say headed back home from it, from what I understand they came from all over the US. I wanted to take my boys to see it, but I completely forgot that it was this weekend.
