Well, that didn't work out too well. We were supposed to meet my daughters at a comuter parking lot in Windsor and caravan up to the show. They were late. By the time we got on the road it was 11:30. no problem I thought - it's a half-hour to the airport and we had 4 hours of air show to watch. We got to Springfield by 11:50. As soon as we hit I-291 traffic stopped dead. It took us 4 hours to go the next 10 miles to find ourselves a half-mile from the front gates of the Air base when the closed the freakin' field!!!!

saw a couple cool planes from the highway, and a DC-3 and SuperSkymaster just flew over our house a couple minutes ago... yippeee!

Good thing I was driving my pickup - my left knee would have gone out from shifting that much.
