In 2009, a couple of changes were made to the ground battle portion of the show.   The appearance of the Blue Angels made changes to the battle area necessary, so it was moved from the north field to the show center flightline, just west of the old Yankee Museum hanger.   While the north bean field had its good points and offered a lot of great cover and fighting positions, the new location, although flat and naturally featureless, did allow a better view of the reenactments.
