Saint Joseph and Benton Harbor WWII Reenactment Weekend

[Fizz753]

Saw a brochure on this at work and thought some of you might be interested. Might be some interesting radio chatter.
B-17 Flying Fortress, C-47 Skytrain, B-25 Mitchell, and a UH-1H Huey are all flying in, some are also giving rides if you want to pay for one. Some mock beach landings are planed as well.

Just a quick reminder this is going on this weekend. I posted it kinda early the first time I suppose.

I haven't heard any thing as of yet, but I have had much of a chance to listen to the radios much yet this week.
