Good luck on your airshow. In NJ, it is always a great event. Budget cutbacks prevented this years event. Hope you have fun and a great turnout. Please post pictures.......

Pictures from early Saturday morning. Hoping for no rain.

Rolling down the highway

A little fuzzy from going so slow.

Staging security check at Knob Knoster State Park.

Entering Whiteman at the end of a very long line of Corvettes. That's OK because we ended up with the best parking that way.

Staging area parking lot.

Some other cars waiting to be escorted.

Finally parked in our own line. The Corvettes requested not be parked with us.
No biggie.

Everyone likes the Vipers!

Stealth at it's best. No rain at all and clearing off.

More people showing up and checking out the Warthog.

Fly by of the wonderful Stealth.

The Stealth Motorcycle by Orange County Choppers.

From the front.

Then the sunshine arrives!

Fly by.

Even more people at the show now and thankfully the breeze is nice.

Up close and personal.

In the air.

Really low.

You can get some kind of idea how big this tarmac really is.

Going home happy and sunburned.
