It was an overcast day, and the photos were pretty backlit, but there were a lot of friends present and the show went off safely, so that's a win.

I have always wanted to see a B-25 and an A-10 together in a Heritage Flight.

I shot half of the show with a Sony Camcorder - which I kind of regret, and I went and grabbed my big camera while the sport bipes were flying, but here are some salvage shots from that camcorder.

I saw Devil Dog leaving Georgetown on Thur, was wondering where they were going as the weather was not that good at the time.

I don't know what was going on on Thursday but they didn't show up in Burnet until about 30 minutes before briefing time Saturday. Apparently they had to do some MX work last minute.

What were you doing in Georgetown? Didn't realize you were in Texas.

Is that C-47 a replacement for the one lost a few years ago or is it based somewhere else?

The C-47 is "That's All, Brother" based with the CAF Central Texas Wing in San Marcos.

The replacement for Bluebonnet Belle is Texas Zephyr (N346AB) https://warbirdsnews.com/warbird-restor ... -soon.html

Interestingly, both C-47's were ex-RCAF Dakotas, being KN270/12909 and KP224/12905 respectively.
