    I often have attended this event in prior years. It features fantastic flying and the Saturday evening swing band concert tops off an enjoyable day with WWII era music. Golden Age Air Museum also features many pre-WWII civilian aircraft, many of which are in flying condition. Take offs and landings occur on a grass strip. The museum has an authentic feel to it without the glitz one finds in a commercial tourist trap. I highly recommend both this event and the museum.
