Now that's a Heritage Flight...

Well, they wouldn't let the Osprey get too close, but still-

Bob flying the Curtiss on Saturday:

and on Friday for practice:



The original plan was to use the F-35 but it was down with maintenance issues, so they went with the Osprey. I think I saw a couple of feathered Ospreys while flying around over the weekend, and a number of Bald Eagles also-

Had a great time at the Pax River Expo, with the Blue Angels, Panchito, Trojan Horsemen, Red Bull Team, etc., and great weather, and great reception from the US Navy-

Sorry about the low quality camera phone photos



Each Osprey rotor diameter is the same as the Curtiss wing span


Next stop for the Curtiss is Oceana at the end of the month http://www.oceanaairshow.com/

Then Jerry Yagen's on the first weekend of October http://www.militaryaviationmuseum.org/a ... w1-airshow

And the Curtiss will still be flying long after the osprey hits the boneyard.
