Roy    Cincinnati, Ohio	Now this is an airshow! Went specifically for the Corsair Gathering, but was extremely impressed with the large number of other warbird's that attended. I don't think this many warbird's at any other event excluding Oshkosh. Yes the weather was little toasty, but it was a well run event and everyone remained friendly despite the heat. I was a little disappointed that more Corsairs didn't attend, but seven is the most I've seen at any one place including Oshkosh so I can't complain. The prices were very reasonable and all the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Keep up the great work and I'll be back next year. 09/17/2002 @ 17:05
Leo W  Leo2001@aol.com  ypsilanti, Michigan	Great show, but Mother Nature beat us up with the heat. The sky was almost cloudless, which made for great views, but it was murder in the sun. The sighns said no coolers, but I don't think they were inforcing it because I saw lots of them. The food and drink prices were great. Even with 90+ temps they were only charging $1 for a 20oz. bottle of water or pop. The aircraft on display were outstanding and the "In air" performers were first class. They had a very good show, but I missed having a jet team like the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds there. Overall well worth the 300 mile trip I made to watch it. 09/10/2002 @ 01:20
