with our friends helping with global warming we had a great day to run the fighters. Andrew has pretty much figured out how to do a formation loop in his Mustang. Nice work. Jim

Merry Christmas!

Awesome to have Mk.18s flying on both sides of the Pond, the week before Xmas.

With winter weather like this, there goes the last argument for living in Texas!

Happy holiday aviating,

August

Nice!

I live on the other side of that weather front. Eight inches of snow with a half inch crust of ice from the freezing rain :D

No contest! You guys are having way more fun!!

Nice that you and Andrew were able to get those thoroughbreds out and through their paces.

Thanks for that Jim.

So cool Jim! Nice to see you "back on the boards" as it were. We've got to get you and Andrew to come up here soon! Maybe when it's a little warmer. :wink:

Chino has great flying weather most of the year.
I remember the winter days that could get into the 80s.
We had the equivilant with temps approaching the 70 mark melting all of the 5 inches of white stuff that had fallen in the last week.
But it was good to get the Spit up for a couple flights to keep it excercised.
Jim even got a flight on the all powerful L-4 in between Spitfire flights.

Looking at your weather just now, looks like you are back to global cooling again. You guys were wise to carpe diem, eh?
