What a day! But it wore me out by noon. First it was good to see old friends. Then the aircraft! Heaven on earth. But what should I see on first entering the area? A Sonex... for sale... It had the big Jabiru engine and was loaded with extras. He was selling it as an aerobatic plane. But I never did meet the owner. Here's a picture of it. The next plane I saw was the big yellow Stearman painted in Navy training colors. It was just returning from a paying flight with a customer.
The third picture is of the Missing Man Formation using three planes. The "missing man' is represented by the plane climbing off to the right with the smoke on.
More pics to come.
Then I just basked in the atmosphere of the Forties. It was exciting even for a non patriot such as I.
Airplanes that fly are indicators that we're all on this flight together.
