Mark, we'd never ask you to register because you are on the wrong side. No, not Repulsican or Demoncrat, but because you are misguided enough to like Corsairs more than Spitfires. Repent, ye sinner!

Ok, seriously my Sons are David the younger who is here now, and Charles the older one who is at CU law school. Man if you want to feel old, go out to Reno and see Steve Hinton's son who was about 8 or 9 years old when I last saw him in the back of a POF P-47 that Steve flew into Nellis. Now he is a lot taller then Steve, was doing the engine checks on Strega, and flying other Warbirds in the race. And he didn't need glasses to read the settings on the valve gap feeler gauge.

Is it time for someone to post that pic from several years ago of him dressed as an Elf? I think it was a halloween or christmas card photo.. :wink:

Bill,
I remember back when Steveo was put in a walker for the 1st time. It was in the Fighter Rebuilders shop with the large doors facing the South. Even back then, 1st time on wheels and he fire-walled it and went off the edge of the shop floor, which was elevated about 10", and cartwheeled onto the ramp.
I guess I'm an old timer now.

I don't know if everybody know the video of Steve Hinton receiving a message of his son who ask to borrow his mustang. Very funny :D
