I'll be there Sat. I have been trying to arrange a Stearman ride for my dad, but can't seem to make contact with the right people.

Sadly, I won't be making it this year. Money and vacation are non-existent right now.

Wish they could've put the camera in a better place or at least moved the podium outside so the exposure would have been better.

Shame the CAF couldn't find one of their own planes for a backdrop.

So much for the tramp stamp idea?

The camera man could've used a tripod, I was getting motion sickness watching that.
