I'd be interested in contact information to try to get invited to next year's conference to get a plane and pilot into the Heritage Flight program. There's one that I think would fit nicely with the A-10!

Thanks!

Is that the Paul's P-40 with a new shark's or the POF N in movie paint???

Mike, it is a pretty intense program as I understand, not many pilots without a military career fly the Heritage program - there are a few though!

I assume that you would need to start at ACC - http://www.acc.af.mil/aerialevents/

I like the idea of the Spad and A-10 together!

Way cool, thanks Bil.

Thanks for the starting point Tom! I was wanting to try and get Ron Iberg in the program with our P-39. He's a retired USAF figher pilot, and a pretty decent Warbird pilot as well, so perhaps we might make it.

Zane, you might like the Spad and A-10 together, but how about the P-39 with the A-10? Tank busters old and new! Or the P-39, Spad, and A-10?

So, this raises a question, will the Collings Foundation UH-1 be a drug smuggler for the CBP Blackhawk?

Were the C-130 & A-10 from the MD Air National Guard? I'm applying for an A-10 pilot slot with the MD ANG's (104th) Fighter Squadron.

Nope. DM is the tail code for Davis-Monthan AFB.

That's the POF P-40N still painted up like our P-40E from when we filmed Valkerie.

Size of the F-4 vs F-16, looks like an old 60's Pontiac GTO compared to a Mazda Miata, those F-4s are BIG
