My husband Ed and I truly enjoyed the airshow this year. The weather could not have been more perfect. The jumpers, the stunt flying, everything was great. And, we especially liked looking at the aircraft that was on display. There was only one inconvenience this year. My husband has a bad back and our vehicle has a handicap license plate. The parking lot that we were directed to was over a quarter of a mile from the entrance. This was quite difficult for him on the way back that afternoon. There were no vehicles to shuttle us back to our parking lot as there were to other parking lots. We even asked if someone could take us in one of the golf carts, to no avail. Next year, please provide more shuttle service to the outlying lots, or better direction to the handicap parking lot. We want come back again next time, but if my husband has to walk that far again, we will probably have to turn around and go back home. PS: we heard the same problem from other people with handicap placard on their vehicles.
