A  BIG BUNCH OF FUN!

thanks ron.  yes, a great time, especially when you have modellers bringing planes just for you to fly.

here's a picture I'm especially proud of.  Mike Pothier's Mk XVI Spitfire.

Mike made this photo while I was flying it!.

Thanks Mike for the three flights on that beautiful bird yesterday.

Thanks also to Rae Coyle for the time on his p-51.

Hey Al,

Video and photos look great!  Glad you got some footage of the Corsair.  After the 3rd flight noticed the prop wasn't swinging freely. We took it apart and apparently the glue let go on the magnets in the motor. 

I'll glue it back together, hopefully do a better job then HK did.   ;D

Looks like it. ;D  I used JB Weld steel epoxy good for up to 600F :D

Great footage as usual Al.
Glad to see you got one of you flying as well, that doesn't happen often enough.

Great video Al! And thanks for the slow motion play by play of the skyraider!!  ;D ;D
