Oh c'mon now Jack... I thought the summer re-run season was over with! I distinctly remember this shot in Season five of WIX! :P

I will agree that it is a fantastic shot! I showed my dad the shot and he liked it... looks pretty much like any one of his John Deere's after a hard day of plowing and manure spreading!

Work horse Spad!

Of course my Spad gets dirty. Tim Mulina caught this great shot of us landing at Quad City Airshow after an hour and a half flight, before we had a chance to wipe it down. If you look real hard you can see a little oil right behind the exhaust stacks on the right side. Ok, it's not much, but what do you expect from a guy who spends 20 hours a week on keeping the Spad from leaking. :D :D The bottom picture, taken by Nick Blacow, shows the aircraft shortly after I aquired it 3 years ago, it still has the oil streaks down the side and is shown with the 300 gallon drop tanks, no 150s, no missiles, no guns. It's a great picture, but you can really see how much cleaning up we have done over the years.
