The AEDC Airshow was held last May, and is usually scheduled every two or three years. The Beech Staggerwing Convention is now pretty much limited to the members of the group and is no longer publicly advertised. As you can imagine, one has to be well endowed with greenbacks to qualify by owning a museum piece or a current production Beech aircraft. I occasionally stumble on to it and snap a photo or two, but their convention is pretty much a closed event.
