Eau Claire 2008 Airshow

Unfortunately the 2008 Chippewa Valley Airshow was a dismal failure.  The day started out cloudy, so the show was put on hold.  As the day progressed the rain got stronger and after fourhours the event was cancelled, with nothing flying. Very disappointing after driving 150 miles at $4 per gallon of gas.  Not a show I will be attending again.

The show would have consisted of the Blue Angels (F/A-18C), the F-16C Viper East Demo  and the F/A-18F Super Hornet Demo.  Static displays were F-15Cs of the Missouri ANG and a T-38 from Whiteman AFB.
