CAP flyer, it could be possible that someone painted another a/c to look like the SAAF paint job. I've seen it here a few times and a friend asked me about it, saying he's seen it here. I think I have photos of it from a small fly-in here in '02.

It may also be a SAAF bird. Like I said, the only one I know of. Doesn't mean I'm not aware of all of them. :lol:

Rick Sharpe's new A-26. He has two, now. Pearland International, that's a good one !

It'll always be Clover Field to me !

Yep, I've been hanging out at Clover since Nixon won his first election. Doesn't quite look the same nowadays ..... although having "Tanker 59" sitting there is a definite improvement.

Speaking of Clover.... About 3 yrs ago, I spotted a SAAF schemed T-6 in a hangar there. Mebbee it was just visiting?

No it lived there for several years. I believe it was sold and moved on a while back.

This past Saturday, Dec. 17, my Dad saw what he described as a DC-6 doing touch-'n-goes at Charlotte County Airport in Punta Gorda, FL. He was sitting in his car in a parking lot and he could see the airplane while it was in the downwind leg of the pattern. He didn't give me any other information. I sure wish I could have been there! :shock:

Driving home from Alliance Thursday night, I saw a slow moving A/C headed on final to Meachum Field, Ft. Worth, Texas. It was a foggy night and only as it passed over head I was able to see the blue exhaust for the C-47 Southern Cross and those stripes on the wing that Ober would approve of...

Stripes or no, at least it was running. Maybe one of these days (soon I hope) we will have ours up and flying again.

Some A-10s.

Great to see A-10 being used by their gun! BBBRBBBRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPP!

ON the non warbird front....
It was the first day for new, daily, Emirates Airlines flights to DFW Airport. Hazy gray day at the time of departure...but cool to see nonetheless.

So where you on the range? :shock:

What are the circumstances with the gun displays?
And lastly can you describe the sound?
