I made a quick stop over at the Kiwanis Wings & Wheels Airshow in Abingdon, VA Saturday (and I do mean quick - I made one walk up and down the flight line for a total of about 10 minutes). Very nice turnout of civilian aircraft of all types. Scott Yoak brought down the P-51 Quicksilver, Bob Ford had his AT-6 Paradise there, the Remote Area Medical DC-3 had long lines of people going in for a look, a couple of Pitts Specials were parked on the flightline as well as a bright yellow Cub. The RadioActive Airshows group had a fantastic collection of giant scale remote control airplanes to show off. I didn't bring my camera along, but did snap a couple of pictures with my cell phone. Hopefully next year this event will fall on a weekend other than my daughter's birthday! Here is a link to photos taken by the Bristol Herald Courier: http://tricities.mycapture.com/mycaptur ... ubAlbums=0 And the story they ran on the airshow: http://www2.tricities.com/tri/news/loca ... how/29487/ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
