Nice pics Bill!
Good to see you on Friday.
I left early this morning, so I missed the Sunady show.
Any thuunderstorms come through?

Nice work Bill. Looks like they were making some nice passes.

Bill is tough. I got baked on Friday, Fried on Saturday (I was headed for the bus to the parking lot as the Corsairs flew). I said screw it on Sunday and headed home. It was REALLY HOT and REALLY HUMID there.

To stand there and take pics was a job. Nice shots Bill.........

Few more photos from Sunday.
I thought maybe I was at the wrong place for a while as there was some blue sky. :shock:
Another shocker, the Germans won the battle on Sunday. :?
I thought the crowd was less this year on Sunday.
Maybe the heat. No wait at all for the bus.
Nice talking to Jerry, Brian and Jeff!

Cool pics.

Is that the same Marine's Dream? Did it get a repaint?

Beautiful pics- closest I go to the aircraft was these pics for the most part!

Sunday was actually rather nice- glad I decided to stay. A little cooler(not much) but breezy most of the day, nowhere near as oppressive. Uness it occurred after APS left(and we started rolling out around 7), the weather held, no showers or anything.

Nice ride home, except for fatigue, and I backed the trailer into the narrow garage space, loaded, first try!

I'll be posting pics of the B26 radio rack when I get a chance.
