AIRSHOW ATMOSPHERE

Day 1, Friday, May 5, 2006:


Opposite the entrance to the Air Wing. Entertainment van.


Entrance to the Air Wing.


Entrance to the flightline.
Note photos are not normally permitted, but
because of the airshow an exception was made.



Media had their own small pavilion


A tv station with a looong antenna


A reporter describing the planes present - rehearsal


Wavy news van


Air Reserve Recruiting


Canada Snowbirds sponsorship.
From here the announcer described the show over loud speakers.

Day 1, Friday, May 5, 2006 CONTINUED:

(From Sunday, 4 photos added: of a Kramer impersonator, the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, and 2 of the Civil Air Patrol plane. They are added to the bottom of this page.)


Vendors under cover to the left...buffet pavilion to right


General view of the area behind the runways.
Friday was military only, I believe. Either that or the threat
of inclement weather kept people away.


One in a long row of vendors

About 5.30 pm Friday. People trickling in.



A play area set aside for kids. I thought having a Titanic ship kind of sent the wrong message.

Sunday, May 7


Kramer impersonator hired by Fox 43 television station


The Weiner Mobile.


This really belongs in the "Atmosphere" section, but since they had a plane on display I'm putting it here.


I was pleased to learn that at least half of the teenagers involved in the Patrol were girls. Way to go, ladies!
