It is on my "to do" list. I have been once, but it was the week before the races for a look. It was during a previous life in a blue suit, I was on a Red Flag and had a long weekend off. I seem to remember there was a nice collection of Mig 15's on the ramp.

Uh oh, there has been a terrible accident. P-51 crashed into the stands. Reports say the aircraft was Galloping Ghost, piloted by Jimmy Leeward. If Im not mistaken, isnt a member here the grandson of Jimmy Leeward?

My deepest condolences and prayers to all.
