When I finally get my BT-67, do I have to park N40? Or can I park in vintage?

Iirc they get new data plates, awc, etc, right? So not technically vintage, although I'm sure they'd stick you on the south end with the other dc3s and Grummans. Wasn't there a turbine dc3 there this year?
 
C-GVKB is in the registry as a 1942 Douglas. That's what we go by (I wrote the off-line registration lookup Vintage uses). We'd park it for sure.
 
The vintage heavies get a primo spot. We're hoping to take my buddies Beech 18 next year. He was thinking of parking in Warbirds til I told him where the other Beech 18's and Electra's were. Sweet!

Beech 18s, Howard 500s, Electras get the rows right in front of the ops shack. DC3s tend to be stuffed right at Point Fondy (just north of the amphib parking) at the end of the ultralight runway. Mostly this is because this is where the solid ground is, however, we sent some DC3s away this year because it was so soft we couldn't park them. We had one plane (Queen Air or something, I forget) fail to follow both the marshallers and the cones and end up sinking up to the axles this year.
