The Confederate, ahem “Commemorative” Aif Force makes a regular stop here each year and they bring an old b24 and you can take a ride in it.
I’ve never been but they always draw abig crowd. I haven’t been to an actual air show since my Air Force days at MacDill. There were some good ones. It was an F4 training base and they always had the F4 version of the Wild Weasel used in Viet Nam. I worked with a lady here in Tulsa whose hubbyflew one in Nam. He told my son and I about screaming in to get the Viet Cong to light up their Russian SAM sites so the follow on planes with ARMs could take them out. Other than maybe a 50, I don’t know that they any armament other than chaff and flares. That had to be something you didn’t want to repeat very many times. Her hubby did two tours doingvthat shit.
