This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Just got on a computer so sorry this airsho report was late. I had a blast out in West Texas even if the wx did not cooperate on Sun I did get to see a full show on Sat. I am glad I got to meet Tim and the rest of the guys at the Warbird Digest booth and am a new subscriber to this great new magazine. I am also glad I took my first ever Warbird flight at Airsho although a rather weird plane to take my first flight in which was the CAFS SBD-5 Dauntless, which is actually a rather nimble and powerful plane. I cannot believe the amount of WW2 planes on hand for Airsho, just amazing to see so much variety. I took 11 rolls of film and when I can get back online I will put them up on a temporary web page till I can get some cash to get my own domain name and site. I got some great shots even if the sun WAS in the wrong spot during the USAAC display heh. Now its time to get ready for Wings Over Houston which I will get to see more WW2 acft.

hi nathan,
11 rolls? very cool. Sounds like what I do at oshkosh! Sounds like saturday was a
great day down there. One of these days I'll make it down there. I was really kicking
myself as I found out that Don Blakeslee was down there as a guest... Any chance you
saw any of his appearances or got any pics? Ironcally He just signed a couple of prints for me that I had purchased at oshkosh. Virginia Bader knew him and sent the prints to him
and had him sign them for me. Love to meet the guy if I can ever swing the chance.
Love to see the pics.
thanks,
henning
