I looked up the website for the Wings of Freedom Airshow in Tullahoma, TN because I've seen some flyers here at work about it. While looking at their list of performers and displays, I come across "Star Wars X-Wing Fighter". WTF?!? I've been to lots of air shows (okay, none anywhere near California), and I've never seen anything like this before. If I were still in town this weekend, I'd go up to see this. Unfortunately, this happens to be the weekend I go back to St. Louis to move the rest of my family to Huntsville. So, is anyone else close that will be going to see this? I know Omega's in TN, but I don't know where.

I'm in Nashville, but a lot of my family lives in Tullahoma, and my uncle works on the base. Unfortunately, I didn't see this thread in time to ask. Sorry.

On the Star Wars website, there was something about a full-size mockup of an X-Wing that is apparently being toured across the country, but since I'm not a member of "Hyperspace" I couldn't read the full article. Bet that's what was at the air show, though.

Apparently a company based in Tullahoma did some prop work for the original trilogy, including a full-size X-Wing prop. They got it after the movies were done filming, and eventually donated it to a local science museum. That's my cousin's best guess as to what that was at the show.
