Greetings Kawgomoo,
Thank you for your alerting us to your concerns. I have forwarded them to our leadership. We totally understand that price can be a deterrent. But as for the ticket prices, these are the normal entry prices for the museum and those are controlled by the Commemorative Air Force. Please keep in mind that they are operating a flying B-17, B-25, T-6, PT-17 Stearman, plus many other flying and static aircraft, so they have a lot of overhead to deal with. So in that regard we feel that their efforts are worthy of our support. But at least on this weekend you'll have the military vehicles on display along with the aircraft. We think it is good combination to show the preservation efforts of the CAF along with our local Military Vehicle community. Besides, it's likely the B-17 will be flying that weekend and that's a sight not to be missed by any military history buff. I agree that the "skanks on tanks" is not in keeping with a family atmosphere. I saw them too at the last show and like you I was not impressed. I have asked our leadership to look into this and see if this is something we have control over. Thank you again for your input, we need this kind of information to make for a better experience for everyone.

P.S. If you arrive in a military vehicle to the event you get in free. Just bring your kids with you inside the vehicle.
