Does anybody have the scoop on where there are good seats for the air race that cost no money? |

Try the old riverwalk behind the demolished Free Press plant west of the Riverfront Apts/condos. A lot of people are going to Windsor also. |

Thank you Gianni.
I assume people will have to bring their own lawn chairs and stuff, right? |

BigDiesel: no, the City of Detroit will provide lawnchairs, and food, and binoculars and foot massages while you watch the air races... |

For 50 cents you can ride the people mover. You'll have a great view for about 2 minutes of action every loop. Last I looked they still had seats on the people mover, but no foot massages. |

The rep I talked to yesterday said there will be plenty of free viewing along the Windsor riverfront. I'm not sure where though. |

I believe there was an interactive map of some kind on the DetNews.com site with locations on both sides of the border for viewing- paid and freebies. |

To Detroitpetanque- I am so happy that the city of Detroit cares about suburbanites to provide that for me. I will bring my own binoculars though.
To Downriviera- That is too much out of my budget. lol... Interesting idea though.
Thanks Smogboy and Detroitstar. |
