Nov. 8th & 9th - Monroe North Carolina
I am lucky in that this fine little airshow is held every year, within a mile of my home.

T-6 Texans
Flying a missing man formation. My father flew 100 forward air control missions in T-6s during the Korean War. He passed a year ago. I had tears running down my face watching this.
L-39 Albatros
Warsaw Pact trainer
AH-1F Cobra
Army Aviation Heritage Foundation, you can pay to take a ride in front. Unfortunately the cost was greater than my budget - maybe next year.
UH-1H Huey
Also from Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. $75 for a ride - which was within my budget
UH-1H Huey
During my flight - had a blast
