Anytime you have two "real" Zeros on display... is a good day. LUCKY!

Hopefully this doesn't come out too big to open.

Well, I wonder just how many computers out there now have a new screen saver?
Great shot eagle 21!

Little bit of luck, little bit of decent camera, little bit of decent timing (lucky timing!). We were setting up the ramp for the day and I happened to have the camera nearby.

Thanks for all the pics everyone! Brad, looks like "Rose" got a little skinnier from the repaint!

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a long way from what I remember of Harlingen in the late '70s - early '80s. What is the yellow Mustang Racer?

The Ubersexy Griffon-shod Precious Metal!

Actually not a bad show this year.... at all........ Yes, I know it's not Harlingen, but still really good...... considering a lot of mechanicals and the Dixie Wing having their own Airshow on the same weekend did not help........

Also Navions, Pt's, L birds too.... not wanting to slight anyone.........
Precious Metal did fly on Saturday....what a beauty of a day too!..... She made some amazingly fast circuits across the field and was reportedly only running about 50% of available power..... The Griffon sounds really awesome.... Have not heard a Griffon run in Midland since the Shackleton days.... On the C-45 and T-6/SNJ the count may be short, but I believe this is the number flying during the trainer parade and then the transport stream..... As always, anything pertaining to what actually happened is purely coincidental!!!!

Thanks Alan. Everybody seemingly wants to throw dirt on the CAF Airsho at Midland, but it still remains one of the best n the country. Only place to see that much heavy iron. Any pix?

[Alan Brooks]

Old Shep..... No dirt from me
I can also take a hint....... Like I told you at the show.... your baby is looking good! I did not take a great many pictures this year, but here are a few....starting with "Old Shep's" SNJ...








Here is some guy named Steve Rister..... you almost cannot take a pic and not have him somewhere taking pictures and video...lololololo Thanks Steve for all of your help......

Bill, the only thing that throws dirt on Airsho is the West Texas wind... Every time I come back from there the plane is covered in it!
