I've been to a couple of events there when I was flying RC. There has been a flyover of a B-17 before. I have no idea if there will be any flyovers this year but the chance is there. This is probably the only place you can go and see a flying stop sign or a flying lawnmower. It's a great event to take your kids or grandkids to.

Ah. The real reason you're not flying out to SF this weekend.
