The B-17 Memphis Belle and an Ohio ANG F-16 will be coming to CLE this week for the Piston Power Show this weekend (23-24 Oct) at the I-X Center. I have no idea when these planes will be coming, that's why I didn't post this in the Geek Alerts section. I also don't know if that's the only planes coming or if more are scheduled, I'm just going off the show's website listing. (Non-existent) Any with more info to share would be appreciated!! :)

Here's the show's website:

I just read on the show's Facebook page that Memphis Belle is scheduled to arrive on Wed, 20 Oct. No idea on the time, tho.

Haven't heard about an F-16 but The "Movie" Memphis Belle will be there along with a P-51"Cincinnati Miss."  As far as I know they should be in by early afternoon.

They are both there. I saw the Mustang arrive around Noon.

I also saw a Mig-21 in Czech colors come in!

The -17 and the Mustang were both pulled into the building. Last I saw, the Mig was still outside.

Out of the sandbox, finally!

:o No way!

Sounds like Will Ward's MiG. I think he's based out of the MI area. I wonder why it's here? It's definately NOT piston powered! Then again, neither is an F-16 and that is listed on the show's site!

Yup - Will Ward flew the MiG-21 in from KYIP.  Great guy - spent half the afternoon "geeking" out with him talking airplanes and airshows!

Sweet pics.  Those are good reference pics for model building, especially the MiG-21.  Very nice.
