Photos

I updated the day below, and finally got some photos done that I'll post up here.  Some will be out of order, but in general it's flying down to Texas in the C-47, flying in the show, etc.

Glenn dropped me off and I hopped in the C-47

Winging our way to Dallas

Me & Lumpy in the front of the C-47

This is from the very far back of the airplane looking towards the cockpit waaay up there

Dirty windows!

This was in my hotel lobby, and it worked.

Friday's airshow briefing. You can see the P-63 in the back next to Gunfighter, the last night this plane existed. It's the silver one with the "X" on the cowl.

More briefing photos. Fifi there, and the P-63

Airshow line-up.

The other C-47 and the crowd behind it

Tora Tora Tora. It would be fun to fly for them some day. I'd rather do that than Aeroshell, actually. Shhhh.  But it's more fun than doing the same aerobatic routine 50000 times, and minimal aerobatics and mostly maneuvering and dogfighting, and that's more up my alley.

The B-17 Texas Raiders with Tora Tora Tora for Buddy's last flight, and unknown to all of us, the second to last flight of this airplane.

Suited up and in the plane for the show.

Post-flight briefing

Someone else took this picture. It was Saturday's briefing, and I'm in the back row, sitting in a folding chair.

Just before the show, I'm standing in the cargo door of the C-47.

Snow on the wing of the T-6 stuck at Anderson right now.

Blue/white flame

Change the mixture, get a yellow/orange flame. :)
