Last summer we had the opportunity to have our cars on display at the Scott Air Force Base Air Show. It was awesome to have the Corvettes on the same tarmac along side some of the best "Air Power".

The rain only came in the morning. We will be doing the show again next time. I think it will be in 2010.

I coordinate a similar event at the Marine Corp Air Station here in Beaufort, SC. It will be May 16 & 17 this year with the Blue Angels. We will have Corvettes and other cars from area clubs on display. When the public enters the Air Show they walk right through the cars like an "Honor Guard". Some people eventually notice there are planes there also.

that is exactly what we did at Tyndall. It was the vettes on saturday and the mustang club on sunday. The majority of the crowd seemed to linger around the cars...
