Chuck, great work as usual. I love the shot of the Mustangs from the B-25s open escape hatch.

Thanks for the comments guys. I have been running around they country since the show and havent had time to write anything about it yet. The crash on Sunday was very depressing to see and that has been on my mind for a while.
I picked up new wings at Lance in Dallas for our SNJ and drove them back to Kissimmee today. I am taking our four bent wings back to TX to get Ezell Aviation to rebuild a set for us. That is 2,300 miles of driving in 4 days. It is a never ending adventure of travel, endless hours of bordem broken up by moments of sheer terror (she pulled right out in front of me!), living out of a suitcase, and never knowing where I will sleep at night. But I love my job and the planes too.

Have fun and enjoy,

Maybe a couple more of Miss Mitchell and her hard working crew? :wink: I was the guy in the bright Arctic Cat jacket (What can I say, I'm from Minnesota!) :oops:

Very nice pix Chuck!

That is correct, The gentleman on the wing of the Cavanaugh Flight Museum's P-51 is the chief pilot for the museum, Ronnie Gardner.

The photo of the Shackleton lists it in the static display section. Is it flyable, and if so, where is it based?

Thanks,

Walt McKinney
