Just wanted to share Packard Power at the Geneseo Air Show. It turned out to be a Packard Merlin, RR Merlin and Allison show along with round motors. We had three P-51s, the only flying DeHaviland Mosquito in North America and the influence on car designs from 1947 forward, the P-38 Lightning. East coast weather was a big factor on several cancellations.

My club, East Grand Packards was represented by two cars,everyone else getting ready for the meet in Warren next week.

Is that a Packard V-8 equipped '56 Hudson in the background?

(o{}o)

I would assume so. I will get in touch with the car show registrar. Might be a coupe of days before I get a reply and am not sure what info,if any, goes on the forms. I was only at car show segment for a little while as am usually photographing the aerial show.

Here is an event from a few years ago that took place in Batavia, maybe 50 miles or so from the air field. A couple of Packards and V8 AMC's are in the mix:
