On Saturday, I attended a fly-in at Muskegon, MI. The event is a fundraiser for Wings of Mercy, an association that provides free air transport services for hospital patients. Unfortunately, heavy fog early in the morning kept away alot of aircraft, but a few warbirds still turned up. The Indiana Aviation Museum P-51 and F4U-5 were in attendance, as well as the resident T-34, L-17 and T-28. Here are a few pics:

Thanks for the comments! I'll post some more tommorrow. For now, here's a pic of a Bell 47 helicopter that was giving rides. I'm not a helicopter expert, but I think that these were the type that were used in the M*A*S*H series.

That's the type, Matt...Bell 47G, military designation is--I think--H-13 Sioux. And it's the most wonderful view in the world flying and hovering in that big clear bubble!
