What is that light blue T-28 with DK on the tail supposed to represent? It looks like it says China Lake, but it is the first time I have ever seen one that color. Not complaining just asking if there were ever any painted that way in the Navy.

I was fortunate to attend Wednesday and Thursday but still did not have enough time to see all I would had wanted to. Work has prevented me from sharing sooner.

Good point, Al. And I applaud them for NOT putting the stripes on it.

Grand Champion etc - So would you get extra points for having 'White wall' tyres on the P-51...and lifting the Spitfire off its bump-stops!!

It's a great looking plane but I just think it would look so badass with the stripes and whitewalls.

No one has pictures yet of Taylor's L-5?

Shame, shame... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Sat Aug 02, 2008 9:06 pm

I would also like to see that L-5!
One other request - did anyone get pictures of the electric aircraft that apparently flew today?
