It is Wed eve at Lakeland,, was a pretty nice, day temps about 80. We had the fly out today to Leward Air Ranch for lunch. Not whole lot of warbirds but very pleasant. Nice display by Jimmy in his 51, along with Mike and Kevin in the Cavanaugh 51. Also a formation low pass approach by about 8 Yaks and CJs line abreast seemed to make the pine trees duck. Just met Cliff Simms? a display pilot form Duxford who will be flyihng Tom Blairs Spit Mk XIV in the show. He confirmed the 190 is essentialy rebuilt at Kissimmee and hoped to fly it soon.

That would be Air Marshal Cliff Spink that you met today. A true fighter pilot and gentleman !

The Blair Flugwerks 190 will indeed be coming to Kissimmee and flying soon!
