Already checked with the airport but not with powers to be. I suppose one could run the idea higher up the flagpole. I think they have their airshow schedule in place. I really don't think a bunch of GA pilots in Skymasters is a real show stopper for them. Would be if I was running things but for this show probably not. But never say never, if someone wants to make a stab at it, go for it! Maybe Skymasters are more unique than some of us think.

Web Links re: Branson Airport and Air Show
The new Branson Airport website (KBBG) is:
www.flybranson.com and the link for the air show is: www.bransonairshow.com. Great information on both sites. KPLK is actually closer to Branson but I haven't heard what the plan is for it when Branson opens up. I imagine it is far enough away from KBBG that it would be enticing for smaller GA aircraft to continue landing there. |
