Air Show Will Go On
The annual Upper Cumberland Air Show will go on, despite a week of heavy rainfall and even more showers predicted for this weekend. The show is set to hit the runway this Saturday, and there's high hopes wet weather won't ground any of the planes. See the story at the link below.

It looks like the rain didn't keep many people away. The Herald-Citizen is reporting that there were thousands of spectators at the air show. It looked like fun!
This link has some nice pics of the show:

Supposedly this will become a bi-annual event in the future, rotating years with the Smyrna air show.
I don't doubt that it will become hugely popular as time goes on.
