Here some photos I scanned tonight of Breckenridge that I took with my first camera (a kodak shooting 110 film)

Enjoy

The Mossie is Kermit Weeks' and is on display in the Eagle Hanger at Oshkosh.

Oh Yeah, 1988, that's what happens when you taxi too close the person in front of you. This was the best year @ Breckenridge for me....

Do you have any more from the Topeka airshow? I see the O-47 and at least a couple of others from that show.

That year they had a drawing for a ride in Chuckie and the person that won was on the other end of the ramp and they called his name and made him run across the ramp yelling as they had fun with him saying that they were getting ready to draw another name.

I had the same question, but regarding the O-47. Is this the same airplane now at the Forbes Field museum in Topeka, KS?

Saludos,
