more from the road...did a few more T-6 flights out of Beverly before moving to Laconia. Pat McGarry shot some pictures of us in the 24 from the Mustang, he kindly let me have copies. We did a flight of two into Hyannis which must have looked cool from the ground. We are in Laconia til about 1 today, then heading down to Manchester.

A couple from the move to Nashua...courtesy of Pat...wild flying off the Mustang for once. We hung out in formation for a few minutes for photos, then split off so I could do a few manuevers for our crew chief "Hans". It was a ball.

Nice shots Jim, thanks for sharing. That "Mosquito" looks fantastic. It is refreshing to see a Texan representing the important role they played in Korea.

After 2 days of rain and IFR conditions the skies finally opened up for us out of Orange County New York. I've spent almost all of this year flying for Warbird Adventures building T-6 time and it all culminated in the flight to Cumberland this morning. Rob climbed into the back and we launched for the most fulfilling and emotional 2 hours I can remember. What a day.
