The punishment was having to stand there all day during the photoshoot to make sure all the "equipment" behaved itself :roll: .........but we did give plenty of "technical" advice and verbal encouragement to the models and to Greg Woodson, the photographer. :D

We gave "Miss December" a wrench, (and some verbal advice on what to do with it), but she still did'nt fix the carb on the jeep.........


Did your co-worker get the girls to autograph the calendar for you..they were at the event on Friday and Saturday?

Doug flew the helicopter over on the Friday, (and flew back after the event on Saturday). He "parked" it on the grass outside the main entrance, (just next to the "No vehicles on the grass" sign) and then we joined him (on the grass) with the RV, the DUKW, a Jeep and a Deuce and a half.

Military equipment being treated like this is a shame...

I wanted to show everyone the new panel in the C47, but this girl wouldn't get out of the way.

But my favorite:

Again another girl in the way, but flying the EC 120 can be a challenge as it is light on the controls and the rotor turns the other way. It helps, when landing on a dolly, to have someone to guide you in.

I don't exactly know how a guy in Ohio can get one of these...I'll bet the Cavanaugh boys could help out...

If I see one around town, I'll grab one for you....

A Calendar...that is... :oops:

I still think the Bombshell's calendar is better. :)

BTW Doug, I was by the museum today to pick up a calendar and snoop around a little since it's been quite a while since I was there last. I heard you were caught up in meetings, so I didn't want to intrude but did get to see Mike do a run-up in the Warhawk, so it was more than worth it.

BTW, what's with you, Mike, and Ronnie having nearly identical mustaches?
