Pre-takeoff checklist
I should be flying in on Saturday assuming the weather holds out.
If it doesn't I'll be driving.

I'm going! Excited about it, even two weeks after Oshkosh. Fifi the B-29 and a B-24 will be there, and a good list of performers.
Yeah, it's a bit pricey between parking and admission. But I think they offer a lot, I want to support my local airports and vendors, and it's certainly a great local option. (I cheerfully paid $12 to walk around a B-17 and B-24 for an hour at at KFNL over 7/4, with no airshow or anything.)
Bunch of us located at FTG. Lunch always good. And if you'd like to watch the Friday airshow and fireworks, there are lots of good viewing places near the airport. Check out the Park n Ride lots east of BJC.Yikes! I thought about going here too, but my brother (from KAPA) says don't bother.
That all being said, I may just forget all the airshow stuff this weekend and head to KFTG and see my bro and if anyone wants to meet up for a bite sometime this weekend ping me.
Not going this year ... car shopping instead (oh boy ... groan) ...

My wife has been after me to buy a new truck for a year now. I may have to turn in my man card but ain't gonna happen. I like my old Dodge Cummins and I love no payments.
Nate - Have you had your well water checked?
And there's nothing wrong with that. Airshows and fireworks are cool.
Unless you're going to jump all the way to 2011 Ford with the 6.7L or you like the old nothing-new-here-move-along Chevy with the Allison in the intervening years, there's no point in putting an old Dodge out to pasture.
Most folks say you'll eventually blow a tranny in yours if it's an auto, but they're cheap compared to the other two options mentioned.
The Airshow was pretty darn good, and Fifi was mighty, mighty impressive. The B-29 arrived in formation with a B-24, and flew twice today.
Here's a photo for y'all to enjoy!
