The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa Idaho held a "Salute to North American Aviation" last weekend. The event was a great success, with a remarkable turnout of aircraft...

It's a new one -- been discussed quite a bit on WIX already. It's been a long term project by the Paul family down in Nampa, Idaho. It is about done -- has been run but not had its first flight yet. They are waiting for the final paperwork from Washington, which should come through soon.

It is gorgeous! I love O. D. Mustangs, and I like them in flat paint, and this is just what I like! I'm looking forward to seeing this one in the air...

Thank you! I had a really good time -- the Paul family are great people, and their Museum's events are always interesting and very worth attending...

I'm so glad that you got photos of the event, and thank you for sharing them, Neal. "Bee" looks excellent - armor plate now in place as well! If you have anymore you would be willing to share, please do!

Seriously.....why does that mis-information still remain on the registry on this board?

Those are great shots by the way Neal! I'm glad you made the trip and had a great time with us........see you in Reno.

JC -- I have to thank you and your family for having such remarkable friends! The whole weekend felt like one long fascinating conversation.

I especially enjoyed meeting Col. Bud Anderson and hearing his talks each day. It was a pleasure watching the kids and young people in the audience while he spoke -- they were really paying attention...

What I really want to know, though, is why anyone with two Hawks to fly, and soon a lovely -B model Mustang, would risk life and limb zooming around his ramp on this thing?!??

Your Mother's reaction?

Sue Paul did a great job announcing, as always...

Image

and it was really nice to hear the voice of my old friend Sandy Sanders on the PA system for a while!
