That A-4 is so cool!


Oh, and I've not seen (or noticed) any other pictures of the Sea Furies that were there.

Did they get to fly together during the show?

And now for pics of what some of you have been waiting for... The WIX recruiting mission. :D

This is on the way from Zack's house. We were all packed in Chris' (Mustangdriver) rental car. Then a certain photog (cough, cough, AL aka Spookythecat) turned the car into a disco bar with the flash from his camera. Oh yah, Chris, did you ever get that cone out from underneath the car? :lol:

Image

Then on to the recruiting effort. Dan K, Zack, and I really had it rough. :lol:

I just wanted to thank everyone that came to AirVenture WIXFEST'09 this year. We had a record turnout, including a visitor from Down Under ...

That'd be me! :D

There was only one Sea Fury there Thurs-Sat. It flew Friday only. I don't know who's it was. I'm sure somebody here does.

Well, I know WJ288 (the one now belonging to the CAF :? ) was there, but I thought the one from Canada was going to be there too. I guess I was wrong.

The one from Canada was there Gary. I don't think it was there long though. I could be wrong.

Tim, as Gary said, WJ288 (The lovely lady I am honored to currently take care of) was there Sunday-Sunday, FGAT was there Sunday to Thursday morning. Had a great time and WJ288 performed flawlessly! Thanks to all that came by and commented on her.

Thanks y'all. Any photos of the two of them together? Or did WJ288 have to park next to the Circus Tent?

Irrefutable evidence that JT speaks the truth! That's FGAT heading out into Thursday morning's downpour. That 3350 woke us up from a perfectly good nap in the Caribou.

Got home around 2:00 am this morning so I could work at 6:00 this morning :lol:
I'll try to put up some pics once I get them sorted. I know it was rainy, but I quite liked the weather this year.
