Description: This was my first time to bring the jeep to this air show put on by the Ghost Squadron of the Confederate Air Force (CAF).  It's a two-day event with a lot of aircraft from all periods that attend.  In addition, our local club provides a significant number of vehicles, displays and support for this show.

99san_m1.JPG (18007 bytes) One of my favorite pictures.  This was my complete display for the two-day air-show.  I brought out the two half-shelters and built a tent.  In addition, I created a simulated machine gun nest with all the goodies.  This was a pretty good display and took a lot of time to set-up.  It was however, well worth the time as I received many compliments.
