Nice Shaun...a few years we had a GTG at the Great New England Air Show at Westover ARB. BIG mistake...traffic was awful...Don drove about 2 hours just to get in line at the exit off the MASS Pike...sat there so long he got pi$$ed and turned around and went home. Way too much walking for this gimpy old man.

The show was great though!!!

I'd be afraid to go tone for fear of a plane crashing into the crowd

Jim the airshow is going to be held over the harbor and the Patapsco river. ALthough the last big airshow in my area did have a plane crash. But that was well over 10 yrs ago now.

I don't believe that's ever happened in Western Massachusetts...the shows alternate between Westover ARB and Barnes Air Base.

Here they're over land. Not close to the water.
