Narrative:

Planned to attend the airshow at ZZZ. Business kept me from driving over, so I decided to fly. Called WX, but the tape didn't mention a NOTAM about the runway being closed. Landed behind 3 AT6's and was flagged over to the FAA. After a complete dressing down, I was released, but couldn't fly out until after airshow ended.
