Good to see you guys display today Brad. And a great jet warbird display this afternoon, 9 x L-39s, 5 x T-33s, MiG-21, 2 x A-4s, Alpha Jet, F-86 and FJ Fury all in the air at once, and the afternoon was rounded off by a demo from Art Nall's Sea Harrier.

Thursday was another great day despite nursing some injuries. Getting a bad knee and got bit by something that really stung. Best Warbird Jet scramble I have ever seen.

Second appearance by the S-64

Looks like a jet warbird show. WOW! Cool to see so many classic jets together. :D

When is the last time any of those aircraft in the last photo flew?
I remember the Mosquito in Hamilton back in the late 80's.
What exactly is wrong with it these days? Would be nice to see Kermit flying that again.

How about some pics of the DC-7? :D

(I know, it's not a warbird. . . but I'll bet every WIXer would let that li'l fact slide. . .)

It kinda bugs me that they kick the Warbirds out of the Eagle Hangar all week, and close it off to the public. I remember going to the museum to get a look at hte YP-51 and the 1/72nd U.S.S. Enterprise, only to be told that they were off limits. That's fine and all, but it's not every week that you invite the entire world to your museum, only to close a big chunk of it off.[/rant]

I've always been able to go right up to the P-51, Corsair, etc. I think it's only off limits if they are setting up an event there.
