Hmm, never been to that air show. Around the same time frame as the 2nd Annual PNW MV Convoy however.

So Cougar, you want to be with 8-10 MV's for a day or two or do you want to be with 120+ for 5-6 days? We have a 60-80 vehicle convoy around the airport taxiways 3 days in a row . . .

This is the one event that we don't ever want to miss, it just keeps getting better and better every year! That is my Scorpion Tank above beside my wife's Gama Goat, now owned by another member.

Last year we had a BLAST!

Jeff, we will be bringing the HEMTT, Scorpion and the Fox for sure, we will try to get some primer, at least, on the V100 so it can also attend. We don't want bare metal in case it does a Sunday on us.

Maybe the 2nd annual PNW MV convoy should end at the Airshow

 

[mkcoen]

I'm going to be coming through on my VA tour the week before. If I didn't have to be in Topeka by the 10th I'd stick around for it. Maybe next year.

[Sparkie]

I will be there for sure with my "Quarter Pounder" (M151) and a all NEW Vietnam Jeep and Tent Display. Had the best time ever last year and his will always be on the calander for me.

 

[AaronW]

No conflict this year.

Maybe the 2nd annual PNW MV convoy should end at the Airshow

Convoy will be held 17-18 July.

 

[Stalwart]

Cool, no conflict then

 

[srodocker]

Feb update:

February 4, 2010 Report

The Pacific Growler, B-25 again confirms its plan to park adjoining Camp Adams.

Captain Snyder, commander of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) group that assists during the Arlington Fly-in has confirmed the organization’s full cooperation and assistance as needed within Camp Adams.

The Tributettes, a singing trio that brings back the WWII era of the Andrew Sisters has confirmed their plan to entertain the Camp Adams troops both Thursday and Friday evenings.

The Arlington Fly-in Board of Directors met for their quarterly meeting. Considerable praise was given to the military vehicle participants at the 2009 event. The Board was pleased with the formation of the Military Corps to coordinate a growing relationship between the military history groups and the Fly-in. Board members assured the Corps that sufficient space will be made available as required for the anticipated growth of the Camp Adams area.

Owners of Vietnam era vehicles and displays may request to be located with the Vietnam featured area along Highway One. Chris Brown plans to upgrade one of his trucks to be a Vietnam Gun Truck mounting the High’s quad 50.

I received confirmation today that we will have in addition to our normal armor presents a T34/85, 88mm Flak gun and one other WWII piece of armor (German) at the show doing mobility demos and blank firing the guns. This will be a first in the Northwest and will add to an annually growing show. We are now expecting 110 + vehicles. See the show add in supply line and Military vehicles magazine for more info.

NOW HEAR THIS!​

March 1, 2010 Report​

We have confirmed we will have a fully operational WWII Soviet T34 tank as well as one other new tank for Camp Adams. Those tanks should arrive at the Arlington Fly-in on Thursday afternoon and remain through Sunday. The tanks will demonstrate operations and conduct blank round firing. Also, we are confirmed for one or more WWII German 88 flack guns. They too will demonstrate blank firing.

Two or three WWII heavy iron warbirds are slated to do a fly-over on Saturday about noon. We understand that the Grumman Tracker (S2 ASW) will return this year for display. We have a DC version of the WWII Army C47 scheduled.

Our first work party to set up the large tents and ground mark the roads will be Saturday July 3. We plan a sand bag filling activity during the month of June. Many sandbags will be used to add character to Camp Adams.

Don’t forget that the National Convention members of the USMC Tankers Association meeting in Seattle will spend Friday with us at Camp Adams. The Evergreen Military Vehicle Club will host the nearly 100 USMC members and spouses. The USMC silent drill team will perform on Friday.

Those wanting to be positioned in the Vietnam focus area should inform us well in advance describing your equipment so we can allot adequate space. A M45 Quad 50 was hoisted yesterday onto a 2.5 ton truck to become a Vietnam gun truck for display this year.

very interested! im planning on dropping my deuce off for the week then taking it home saturday which will be my day off work.

 

[elkhunter]

First you guys temp me to come to the Convoy and Campout on the 17th&18th of July and I'm going to that and now an airshow and military vehicles show to boot? Well here I come!1 I will be there for that also. elkhunter PS: Anything else?

 

[Stalwart]

Elk, you won't regret either event. The guys that go to the convoy are a great and friendly bunch. The Airshow is beyond cool, once you go, I doubt you'll miss another one. My wife and I start looking forward to the next one while we unpack from the one we've just been to. You could bring a good book but I doubt you'll ever pick it up, too much going on and nice people to chat with. The great part is if there is someone you take a dislike to, me for instance, it is so big you can keep yourself completely entertained elsewhere.

 

[elkhunter]

We are comig to all events! I don't dislike anyone! You guys are a great bunch and I and my wife are looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you! Sounds like a lot of fun and great times. Thanks so much! elk PS: It's going to be time to get out of "Dodge"! aka "Montana"

 

[srodocker]

[elkhunter]

Hey srodocker! Thanks for the offer. Just might take you up on that, it sounds like fun! By the way you have a nice looking truck. Sounds like you guys are going to have fun at the mini-ralley. Can't make that one but definitely the other one in July and the airshow.The boat in the pictures from yesterday is a friends boat and is a Duckworth with a Corvette engine in it. Fishing was good and temp got up to 64 degrees.
