Look like it was a beautiful day.

Can we see some shots of planes in the AIR?

:)

I didn't see the PBY that was advertised on the schedule. Did it show Sunday possibly?

It was really nice meeting some fellow WIX members and our fearless leader, Scott!

It was fun, it was hot and no, the Catalina was a now show, at least I did not see one and my girlfriend Sandy really wanted to see it since her grandfather flew one in the war.

Yeah, I was also hoping to see a Tigercat!

Hope everyone had a safe trip home and for some, fun at the Hooters!

And who was Chris or Kevin? :D

I thought what happened at Grazianos stayed at Grazianos.
Or was that Leaning Tower?

Ugh! Now there's an inside joke that very few WIXers will get...

Planes of Fame Airshow 5.18.08

Mon May 19, 2008 8:39 pm

Hi all
Friday and Sat. were very busy. Sorry I missed you all but I was running around Sat. and didn't see anyone.
Did anyone get photos or video of my flight Fri. afternoon in the P-51 "SPAM CAN"?
We were going up at 1:00 but it was too windy and rough. We waited a couple of hours . Mark Moody was my pilot and if he reads this I just want to say that I had a great time. We did aflyby and I hope someone got it on video. It was a bit rough but I didn't mind.
Mark flew the P-40 and a Mustang during the show.

Troy and I have a ton of pics but since not all are aircraft :D Scott told us we can't post those other pics that we go to airshows for :cry: . Let me get them on photobucket and I'll post later.

Mudge and I couldn't find you at 1:00pm, but I was passing by in my pickup when I saw a Mustang ride in progress and thought it might be you. Next time I see Mark I'll send your regards.

I wasn't really prepared, but here is something anyhow...

Here are some of my better pics. I think BDK said it best earlier, Do you like Corsairs? Great show, the Chino group did their usual terrific job. Thanks Cindy for not letting us get kicked off the ramp on friday. Also, I want to thank Scott for taking the time to come out and subject himself to our mildly warm southwestern climate, re: hotter than hell. If you've never had the opportunity to meet up with Scott or Ryan, this site is in great hands and some of the things that they would like to do are phenomenal. It just takes money, that's all. Again, it was great meeting up with all the WIXers who were there and Brandon/Cindy,make sure you tell all the Chino gang thanks for the great show. I also got some pics of Yanks Air Museum if anyone wants. I'll post on a different thread so as not to muddle up this one.
