I may
be bias but this must be the prettiest plane of the show. Good work Tony.

Tony
had some competition this year though. Scott Casler flew in his VW powered
Sonex. 7/31/01 |
 |
You did not think
I spent all my time at the Sonex booth. 7/31/01 |
 |
There seems to be
new Corsairs there every year. 7/31/01 |
 |
The Avenger is such
a neat plane. 7/31/01 |
 |
Here's a close up
of the TBF-1's very clever wing hinge for Dave Piercy . 7/31/01 |
 |
booth. 7/31/01 |
 |
The Czech L-39's
were every where this year. 7/31/01 |
 |
Here is another
Soviet Block jet. 7/31/01 |
 |
This Soviet bear
is holding on for dear life as all his cash is being sucked into the engine.
Do you think this has some special meaning for this jet's owner? 7/31/01 |
 |
Here is a warbird
you don't see often. 7/31/01 |
 |
Here is another
odd bird. 7/31/01 |
 |
Now this is just
"plane" scary. 7/31/01 |
 |
With eight 50 cals
it is even scarier. 7/31/01 |
 |
Then there were
the rows of T-34s. 7/31/01 |
 |
Here is an odd ball.
It looks like a four seat, T-34. 7/31/01 |
 |
This P-51 was for
sale. Could anybody loan me $1,300,000? 7/31/01 |
 |
This Wildcat was
a bargain for $995,000. 7/31/01 |
 |
Sweeeet. 7/31/01 |
 |
Verrrrryy sweeeet.
7/31/01 |
 |
I wonder if I could
fit these onto my Sonex? 7/31/01 |
 |
Never mind I got
enough flak from John about my electric flaps. 7/31/01 |
 |
With one of these
I could be as handsome as Ben Affleck. 7/31/01 |
 |
Of course, I would
need to be as rich as Ben to afford the gas. 7/31/01 |
 |
Here come the T-6
formations. 7/31/01 |
 |
And there they go.
7/31/01 |
 |
T-34's, smoke on.
7/31/01 |
 |
There is only one
thing that sounds sweeter than a P-51 on take off roll.... 7/31/01 |
 |
....and that is
two P-51s on take off roll... 7/31/01 |
 |
...with a Spitfire
close behind. 7/31/01 |
 |
My new digital camera
can also take short Quicktime movies. Careful thought this one is 3,102Kb.
7/31/01 |
 |
Here is another
Quicktime of a F-86 on takeoff roll 1,226Kb. 7/31/01 |
 |
Here is a quicktime
of the T-34 formation passing overhead 4,138Kb. 7/31/01 |
 |
And a Quicktime
of a Corsair taking off 1,540Kb. 7/31/01 |
 |
This Stearman was
a beauty. 7/31/01 |
 |
Just wipe off the
grease and every Stearman will shine like this, right?. 7/31/01 |
 |
I may have found
the perfect paint job for my Sonex. 7/31/01 |
 |
What was he thinking?.
7/31/01 |
 |
If you thought electric
flaps on a Sonex was crazy how about a Long-eze with a 400 lbs. thrust
rocket engine!. 7/31/01 |
 |
I could not tell
which was bigger and noisier, this plane or some of the motorhomes I camped
next to. 7/31/01 |
 |
Our own Ian Clark
has a personal connection to the Vimy. 7/31/01 |
 |
His grandfather
was an apprentice in the Vickers factory when the original Vimy was being
built. 7/31/01 |
 |
The pyro guys were
having way to much fun again this year. 7/31/01 |
 |
There was not one
but two of the rare P-51Cs on the field this year. 7/31/01 |
 |
The weather was
cooler this year but it was not this cool. 7/31/01 |
 |
The camp grounds
were quite full this year but my local Chapter 33 reserved camping spots
for us this year. 7/31/01 |
