A crowd forms around the B-24 bomber ‘Diamond Lil’ after landing from a ride during the Janesville Warbird Weekend 2021 at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in July. Warbird Weekend Executive Director Pete Buffington said the planes will not be coming to the airport in 2022 because of high fuel prices and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Janesville Warbird Weekend has been grounded for the second time in three years.

Pete Buffington, executive director of Warbird Weekend, said increased costs in jet fuel and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the board to cancel the 2022 edition of the event that is usually held at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport south of Janesville.
