Yes, I did. I will try to get a picture here or on Facebook WIX page. Honestly, it is way easier to post pictures to facebook than it is here-I have already put up a couple and someone else put about 10-12 on there. When I get some free time I will post some from the marshallers perspective.

Fortunately I was close enough to the camera to grab it out of the back and get it turned on in time. Next time call ahead so we are not so surprised!!

John, thats what I've found. I used to use my Photobucket account but I realized you can just post your FB photos here. Just right click on the image and click "Copy Image Address"

Then just paste the address in the message body here, highlight it, and click the [ img ] button above ^.

Trying the copy and paste method from FB and shamelessly plugging a plane I know participated in AIRSHO......LOL

I'm hoping someone got some of the PLBA in the air but considering our routine was an amusing CF; maybe not. Luckily the crowds didn't know any better. :shock: :lol:

Lynn.................yes we left Connies Sat. morning, flew over Midland, then over Big Spring, and back to the Ranch for a fun day of flying (and drinking). Just think a mini-Breckenridge in its' hayday.

Although Airsho was only a single day event (biannual rainfall in a single day, really), the performers in attendance were fantastic. The Texas Flying Legends are a world class group of gentlemen and performers. Even with the looming decision to move Headquarters from Midland, the CAF spirit was still strong and the show was well received. Rob Reider did a wonderful job of announcing the show and his ability to entertain the crowd during the long breaks for airlines kept the crowds engaged. Unfortunately I did not get to take much in the way of photos this year because I spent the weekend caring for the aircraft and crew, but couldn't refuse one photo opportunity that happened purely by chance on Monday as we waited for the weather to open up.
