Some photos I have taken or collected over the years. The first one is me running the #4 engine on our B-17. The second one is me making a low pass at an air show. Enjoy.

and some more. I grew up at airports and airshows. I have hundreds of slides from the 70's and 80's I'll try to scan more in and post them. Ahh the good old days.

Patrick, welcome to the board. What year at Breckenridge was the A-26 & P-51? It was nice then, you could sit on the taxiway light box and take pictures.

Zane: Yes I have similar pictures of "Chuckie" back then. We make her better every day.

Lynn: It would have to be 1984-85. I sure do miss that airshow. The airplanes were the stars, not the carnival rides, and venders that you see at many big airshows today. And you could actually walk amongst them as they taxied by.
Here are a few more from Breckenridge
