The 1998 Boshears Air Show and Fly-In will stand as one of the best ever. During the three days of the Show (September 25-27) at least 30,000 people attended and well over 100 general aviation aircraft were present. By Saturday afternoon there were four rows of GA aircraft covering the space from the auto parking down to the Warbirds area. On Saturday the flight line crew was nearly overwhelmed by the volume of aircraft. Also the primary food vendors at the beginning of the walkway -- the EAA 172 Food Trailer and the Little Orbit Doughnuts concession were beset by lengthy lines of customers all day Saturday, so much so that both of those vendors nearly ran out of food, water, sodas and ice several times and had to quickly obtain more from the on-field supply or local stores. The many small shops just behind the Warbirds area were extremely busy both Saturday and Sunday. The people mover trailers were crowded whenever they were in operation. The auto parking area had to be extended to hold the volume of cars that came.
