A Few Photos....

Greetings All -
Just a few photos of a variety of aircraft at local fly-ins (Missouri/Illinois) over the past three years that I liked the looks of. I thought a few of you might enjoy them as well.....
Enjoy the Day! Mark
The 195 was caught stopping for gas just east of Dallas....

Thank you! She's a wonderful airplane to fly. Going to wake her from her winter slumber today.

Mark,
Nice pix! The first one does it for me. However, can you identify some of the warbirds behind three oh Romeo Sierra? Is that a Connie?? Which B-25? I can't quite make out the nose art but it looks familiar.
Could you id the two WACO's? The blue cabin model is a YKS, right? You people have gotten me hooked on WACO's! More! Creve Coeur has recently been added to my 'must-make' list of aviation stuff.
The little tail dragger in the dark paint is a different twist. Not a bad looking little number. I'm posting this while my pokey slow rural internet infrastructure plods along with photo downloads. There, back to Mark's pictures.

Okay, Got 'em. That is a nice Fairchild 24. Looks like an inline engine in that one. The 195 is pretty too. I like that model. We had two real nice ones show up at Lone Star airshow in '06. I went over and looked them over pretty good since I'd never seen one before.
Whose Connie and where is it? I haven't seen one up close since the early sixties flying to visit grandparents. I didn't know much about propliners at eight years old but I knew what a Super Constellation was! What is the stubby little red and white tricycle high wing with the pilot eyeballing the T-34?
Oh yeah, several of those pix give away that you're in the midwest. I'm a Texas but wifey is from Wisconsin.
thanks for sharing
Doug.

Hi Doug -
Glad you like WACOs! The first photo is the Fall Bethalto, IL Fly-In three Septembers ago... The Connie is the Save-A-Connie tri-tail, the blue ship just ghis side of it is a TBM Avenger and the B-25 is the CAF "Show Me" ship based out in St. Charles, MO. The blue and white WACO is a YKS and the maroon and white is a YMF. The photo file names have the details.
Enjoy the Day! Mark
