We're planning to go on Saturday.

The website indicates that Saturday is sold out, but this is NOT the case.
You can buy tickets at the gate.

I'm saddened to report that aerobatic performer Jim Leroy passed away on Saturday after his Pitts biplane crashed at the Dayton Airshow.

He performed at the 2005 Indianapolis Air Show.

Not a good weekend for airshows.  A couple of beautiful P51s collided as they were attempting to land in formation at Oshkosh.  Unfortunately, one pilot lost his life.

Here is the unique story about the one of a kind built from scratch P51A aircraft and its pilot:

and here is the tragic report about the crash:
