| "Shooter" ![]() | T-34 Mentor Gathering, Palm Springs The last few days have been a whirlwind of activity for me. I have driven about 350 miles and flown 4 flights in 3 different T-34 Mentors. What an awesome couple of days! First, here was my office yesterday. I was on the ramp for a few minutes at a time, in and out of the briefing room for pre and post flight briefings, and then skyward again. Fun? YOU BET! Tiring? Exhausting. Worth it? Absolutely.

| "Shooter" ![]() | The view from my office is pretty hard to beat. Unfortunately, I have a problem, but a nice problem to have...too many good shots! The new lens coupled with some great pilots and a cooperating mother nature produced a "shooter's paradise".

| Very cool Eric - hope you had a blast. I always enjoyed flying the T-34, great fun airplane! - BTW a T-34 had a "wheels up" at Centennial Airport the other day. I was at the repair station they brought it too and they told me the guy's insurance is writing if off - I'm trying to bid on it, it does look repairable but will definitely make a good parts plane. I'll know more within the next week.

| "Shooter" ![]() | I heard about the Centennial incident. It would be cool if you could pick it up. They are a lot of fun, and pretty docile. Who knows, maybe one day you could be in the gathering... Here's a few more.
