This year we had 150 WWII military vehicles
there. At our motor
pool/motorycycle repair tent we had 14
US motorcycles. 12 Indians and 2 Harleys. We had a 340, an 841, four 640's,
and six 741's and two WLA's. We had 67 WWII aircraft. Three B-17's, two
B-25's, three P-51's, a P-40, a Corsair, a TBM, a wildcat, a Douglas Dauntless
Divebomber, just to name a few. We had 5 separate tent encampments with
a little over 800 reenactors. We had about 3 tanks, 3 half-tracks, 2 armored
cars. It's probably the closest thing to a working WWII base and encampment.
Every tent has something different going on in it. We also had about
100 vendors selling WWII 'stuff'. This year we had 31,000 spectators in
3 days.
