WWII Plane/Jeep display this Sat

If someone brought this up, sorry for the repost, but I thought some people might be interested. If you live in or near the Poconos, there is a WWII aircraft and Jeep show (sponsered by Jeep) being held at the Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, Route 611 in Mount Pocono, just North or Route 940. The Hollywood Memphis Belle B-17 is the main attraction. It is an authentic b-17 from the 1940s that was made for the war effort. It is the plane that was used in the film, "Memphis Belle" as the actual Belle is being restored for a museum. But there are six other WWII planes that will be on display, as well as a Willys MB and other Jeep vehicles, including the Commander if you haven't seen one. There will also be other WWII items and photos on display. It is from 10am to 3pm tommorow (Sat)

Yeah I didn't know it would have so many Willys MBs, there was like 10 of them, all kinds. The planes were impressive as well, and talking with some of the vets was interesting.
