This Saturday. The show is finally back after a several year hiatus. The last one I went to was in 2019. Always a good show, especially if you like aviation history and vintage military aircraft.
Motorcycle parking in front of the museum with a show ticket for only $12, which also gets you into the air museum. And the museum currently has a special motorcycle exhibit which runs through Labor Day weekend.

The show was pretty good, although a little bit lighter attendance than what I was expecting. Saw a few old acquaintances I hadn't seen in a while and we met Mark Hoyer. Talked to him for a little bit and he even took a pic of my bike.
Don Emde was there too but didn't talk to him.
The MB5 sure got a lot of attention!
