Was the Husky there for a photo ship? Seems a little slow! Good looking bird if he can find some water up there.

MAN! I needed #10 welders glass for those! Beeeeyeuteefull! Few things beat really shiny aluminum on really clear, bright days. I had to put up with FHC's I-16 and Bf-109E flying on Saturday, we felt sorry for the I-16 pilot as it was a clear but damned cold day!!! Still can't get over the wierd, ringing note that comes off the Daimler 601's supercharger-

It appears that your cat, like mine is in on the joke-those are the special cats to have!

Ober, the Husky is owned by Lewis, he and a friend brought it over to pick up the 51 after annual. Lewis gave a couple of his buddies a ride in the 38, then he went home in the Mustang. And said friend flew it back :!:

Our lake is full plus Possum Kingdom lake up the road is good so ploppin a water bird on a lake around here is no problem :D

Sorry Mark I don't snoop around other peoples desks unless I'm invited.

That polished F-51 Mustang and the Red Bull P-38 look outstanding!

Where were the photos taken on the 18th?

That P-51 is really bitchin'! Polished metal with a painted wing (just like NAA built 'em!), Korean-era markings, full underwing stores. . . wowzers! It looks like it's all ready to go out and attack the NKPA. . . :shock: 8) :D

Steve, you have one of the best jobs in the world. . . seein' stuff like that on a daily basis. . . and here I am, stuck in an office with no windows. . . :cry:

Dean the insanely jealous :roll:

It was kind of funny the first time Nelson flew that Mustang with all the "junk" on it (guns, ammo, rockets, and full drop tanks). I asked him how it flew, and in typical Nelson Ezell demeanor, he said, "Well......It's a solid 180 knot airplane now." :lol:
