Isn't it irresponsible to fly a Mustang so close to the ground?

Can't wait to see that in person. :wink:

P.S. Whatever you do, don't let Rich escape the east coast! He's got work to do.

I'm tunneling as I write this.

Awesome video! Can't wait to see the act. I fell in love with it the first time I saw the wingman helmet cam video. Are you guys coming out to the West coast?

This new video player, however, makes Firefox crash every time for me. (version 3.0.6 and player version 1.0.0.071301000019). Anyone else having this problem?

If Rich will let me take it out of the hangar I'll have it at Reading. We're planning on being at Legends too.

Jim,

Can't wait to see you guys and the act at Jones Beach in May!

Any chance you can get the Spit to Reading for the WW2 weekend? I guess you guys will be in the UK for FL same time as Geneseo?

If Bald Eagle is alive I'll bring her and Ed and Dan will use whichever of Dan's planes are working. I'll use Princess if Bald Eagle is still broke. Rich???????

The two ship Bearcat act is pretty cool; don't miss it. That's Shipley and Dan doing our two ship Vaudeville act. That radial engine thing is for them.

We had a helicopter with some gyro stabilized camera thing flying around us when we were flying (it was sitting in the mid point of a cuban 8 at 2000', for example). The footage was crazy and the Bearcats looked amazing. Next step is to get the Griffon Spit up front with the Bearcats on the wing. We've done some preliminary work and they're compatible with the spit (just inferior!).

I am speechless.... watched it like 5 times in a row!

Was some of that shot out at the Friedkins ranch in Texas? Those hangars are awesome! The line up of four Bearcats on the ramp caught my eye!

Bring on more videos!
