At one of the airshows I attended(years ago)some idiot protesting the "glorifying of war" threw a balloon filled with red paint at the B-29(FiFi)...(think it was at Selfridge ANGB base in MI.???).

Selfridge used to put on a great show with aircraft from the Confederate Air Force(Harlingen TX), lots of static displays, reenactments. Only El Toro had more.

...of course I've never been to Oshkosh...something I always wanted to do.

An EAA judge in my city told me about it when I visited a B25 displayed at the local airport. I don’t think I had ever heard of it before.

I am glad I went and will go back another year. I don’t see it becoming a yearly thing for me. Maybe 2 or 3.

The road trip from SC to WI and back was pretty uneventful. The only hiccups I had were on the return getting caught up in Milwaukee traffic tie ups and no traffic flow near downtown Chicago. This was on a nice Saturday.
