You helped more than "a little", Andy!
There were a million images and memories this summer. Here's a photo taken from a 19 Wing RCAF Cormorant, and the reverse, a screen-shot from my helmet-cam.

More nice images.
There sure have been plenty, of this adventure.
We got the C of A for our "poor mans' Spitfire" about 10 days ago.
Danny is planning on taking her to Gatineau. Look out for him this weekend.

Sadly these pics will be gone in a couple months (thanks flickr 
) but I thought I'd share them in the meantime. From Oshkosh...
Enjoy,
Will

Wow! Those are great! It's snowing hard here at the moment where I live, but your pictures take me right back to the noise-smoke-heat-glory of Oshkosh.

Too modest...
Steve (K225) ran the entire volunteer team who looked after the aircraft, start to finish. I was preoccupied with the machine. Steve kept the display manned and organized.

Looks incredible. I was told 35 years ago by my primary instructor that the Spitfire was the ultimate airplane to fly. I still believe that must be the truth.

This image is from Scott Slocum, taken during our departure from OSH. He's tied-in to the open baggage compartment of a Bonanza, wearing a headset and giving us positioning cues. Scanned from the current issue of EAA Warbirds.
This image is from my helmet-cam of the same moment. It's very wide-angle, so "images may be closer than they appear". And that's Lope's Hope in the background, loitering for the next session.

Look forward to my Warbirds arriving. Is there a write up in there Dave or just the photos?

Just the photo.
But it was a heck of a send-off...
