Great event! I will miss it this year due to my wedding

They serve an awesome Pork Chop on Saturday...
If you like to drink and BS, the evenings there are the best.

The only suggestion is.. keep your eyes peeled for traffic, watch the
flagmen on the runway (don't hit them either)
Check your takeoff distance for your airplane.. if they are using 18, it is
bumpy, uphill, and not too long with a couple of trees at the end.
That will keep the rif-raf out more then the $70.

For several days we have enjoyed having a delightful couple (flying a
beautiful -- and gigantic -- old Luscombe, all the way from the D.C.
area!)
stay with us who are on their way to the antique aircraft fly-in, held at
Blakesburg, IA each year. Despite our owning poor old (but not old
enough!)
Atlas, they have invited us to attend this weekend.

(Apparently the organizers *will* allow our Spam-can to land on their farm
during the show, but they will park us WAY out in the middle of no where,
far from all the antiques, lest any of our "spam-ness" rubs off on those
beautiful old Stinsons...

We're considering attending -- our guests explained the somewhat bizarre
"red flag/green flag" arrival procedure -- but has anyone here ever flown
into this show? Anything to watch out for, or not to miss? It's pretty
pricey, at seventy bucks, but I guess that keeps the riff-raff out!
