    May 7 - 9 2010, Palm Springs Gathering of Mentors

    I spent the weekend at the Palm Springs Air Museum with the T-34 Association. We flew down on Friday in Marc Russell's T-34. Saturday was great for formations and photos. Sunday brought wind gusts and lots of chop, but we managed through it. Here are a few samples from the weekend.

    Thanks. It was a blast and it left me again with a lot of quality shots to go through. These guys made it easy.

    Jim and Larry were there. John is coaching a little league team that is in playoffs for the little league world series, so he wasn't able to make it. But Don Ramm flew the plane up for the gathering.

    Thanks everyone. I am close to finishing the edits and will get more posted to the website soon. I am trying to get it all done before the weekend because I will have a ton more photos from Chino.
