OT: best NA airshow?

Dave, yes FIFI is flying again, as of this past weekend. The engine repair was finished, and on January 12th she flew from Midland to Addison, and everything went great. She is now having her routine annual winter maintenance done at Addison, which is the official home for the CAF B-29 and B-24, under the cooperation and financial support of the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. She'll be out on tour this year, making quite a number of stops all over the country, as part of the CAF's Airpower History Tour: http://www.airpowersquadron.org/

And here's the proof from this past Saturday, that she's well again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOLKbvZeL1c&feature=youtu.be

well thanks for the links John ( id have believed you without the "proof"...lol)...i just hadnt heard she was flying again..thats really good to see,watched a episode of the Canadian show "Aviators" yesterday where they flew on Fifi and interviewed a 29 year old pilot ,,was a cool show
 
So,

If it's military air shows you're looking for, the Sequestration issue may cancel them all.

Got the guidance today. No fly-by's, no air shows after Mar 27.

BTW, MacDill AFB Air show is 6 - 7 April....assuming it's allowed to continue.
