Geronimo,

Some of those who used to fly at the airshows in the 80s-90s:

Leo Loudenslager, Patty Wagstaff, Jimmy Franklin, Art Scholl had flown there, Oscar Boesch (glider pilot), the French Connection, Roger Lenhart (piper cub act), many others that I'm forgetting.

As I'm writing this, I realize many of them are gone.

There was always a myriad of warbirds there as well, anything from DC-3s to Corsairs, B-17s to P-51s, and B-25s to P-40s. The best part was when the warbirds or other acts would "dust" freeloader's hill (the one to the North of the airport, off runway 03). The people up there had a great view of the airshow, but didn't pay anything. I'm sure they liked it when the fighters buzzed them with the smoke on.

Good times.
 
I can remember 15 -20 years ago, the FBO had a dog that walked into a prop? Was this the same place? It was "healed", seemed happy, but it's snout was offset by an inch or so.
 
Hmmm, I wish I could say I remember that, but I don't. Great story though! Lots of people had dogs with them, but none with an "offset" snout, that I remember.
