  Online Registration Form PDF Registration Form PDF Hotel Information PDF Event Schedule

The 392nd Bomb Group is joining the 8th Air Force Historical Society who is hosting our bomb group and other groups at the Willow Run Air Show, located just outside Detroit, August 5 thru 8, 2010. The Air Show organizers are expecting 8 to 10 B-17's to attend , 2 B-24's, 12 P-51's, the usual cadre of other WW-II aircraft, as well as a flying ME-262 and an ME-109. (NOTE: Detroit is also a Non-stop flight from several airports).

Several of the Bomb Groups and Fighter Groups are scheduling their reunions at this Once in a Lifetime Gathering of Fortresses, Liberators and Legends.

Attendees registered with the 8th AFHS and staying at our hotel within our room block will have preferential (back door) motor coach transportation to and from the event with delivery to a private tented seating and viewing area at center stage and free access to several B-17's offering "walk thrus" to the general public for $5 to $10 per person. Our admission will include lunch, transportation, center stage seating, as well as dinner Saturday, followed by a symposium Saturday night. Optional tours will be available Friday and Sunday for those who only want to attend the Air Show Saturday.

Our host hotel is the Crowne Plaza Detroit Metro Airport with complimentary airport shuttle, free parking for those driving in, and a room rate of $89 per night + tax. A limited number of Group Gathering rooms (or Hospitality rooms, whichever you prefer) will also be available at a nominal cost to the seven largest Groups in attendance with 30 attendees or more.

There will also be a Fully Stocked 8th Air Force communal hospitality room welcoming all others who walk thru the door.

PLEASE NOTE: We were requested by the Air Show organizers to host the veterans and their guests in an organized fashion, which we are happy to oblige. This is not an 8th Air Force Historical Society reunion, but rather an 8th AFHS sponsored event, and you do not need to be a member of the Historical Society to attend.

We will have a large buffet "Welcome" dinner Friday evening, followed by lunch and dinner at the Air Show Saturday, with an interesting symposium to follow Saturday evening, and concluding with a Gala Banquet Sunday evening.
