Super shots Eric that Trojan is a lovely looker.
Those Skyraiders must be the muckiest planes ever to fly all shiney one minute then you fire up the engine and splurge exhaust crap all over the fuselage in 15 seconds. It looked a really good show couldnt you get Tim to hook up the UK and tow it a bit closer so all us limeys can all pop round to your show. (where tight buggers and it would save on the airfare)

Thanks guys. That is a sampling of the 400+ pics I took this year. I will start the video download and edits this week and hope to get some up here soon. If there are requests for any more of the above airplanes, I probably have some. I took at least 2 shots of the ones I photographed.

Yep, hotter than hell out there, but worth every sweat bead! The only bad thing this weekend was we had a problem with the Hellcat. As Mark was taxiing the Hellcat, he went to put on the brakes, the pedal went all the way to the floor and it turned toward the ditch between the taxiways. He shut it down right away, the right thing to do. Disappointing, but the airplane and pilot are safe, which is the most important part. Airplane no start, problem. Airplane no stop, BIG problem!
Here are a couple of funny quotes heard over the weekend:
"The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire"
"If you are flying a two engine airplane and one quits, you will have just enough power to get to the scene of the crash"
