    MCAS Yuma Air Show for this weekend was cancelled today, so I'm going to guess this one will be too.

    I’m sure it will be cancelled. With Disneyland and NBA closing down. We are going to be left with hitting the trail for the only fun thing left.

    Not affiliated with them, but am a fan of the show and the museum. I've had an annual membership there for a couple years. Love going on the Saturday morning when they fly the Corsair or the Zero or .....
