 | He's got some nice shots there. Too funny. I was thinking I could not have been standing far from that guy by the shots and angles he got. Sure enough, he caught me in one of his shots. It's like "where's Waldo". I know my lens, watch and tattoo and where I was standing.

| Wow, great photos! Does anyone know why they've modified the Corsairs to have the windows behind the cockpit like the early -1s? I don't know why you would, as you don't really need the visibility now.

| I vowed to never miss another Chino Airshow after my first one in 2006, Terry. They are incredible.

| So I believe, Eric. When I was with the 'Big Yellow Box', I nearly got hauled over to the 'States to solve some problems, and asked if they (the Big K) could get me to Chino. They said 'No problem', but the trip never came off! Darn, always wanted to go there! |
