Reading PA WWII Weekend

So I'm finally unpacked, rested, and hydrated from this past weekend in Reading PA's WWII Weekend. It's the most unique 'airshow' I can think of. It's more of a WWII experience with something for everyone. Our reenactment group does a Pacific Theater impression of the 25th Infantry Division on Guadalcanal. We basically make a camp type set up and have you walk through what hopefully is Guadalcanal to you! There's a ton of reenactors with displays, Abbott and Costello, Homefront set ups, FDR driving around, and of course aircraft and tons of vehicles. So here's some pics of our encampment and some of the aircraft that attended. Enjoy!
