That Sabre looks familiar! Triple 6? N860AG? I have not seen that bird since she left Fort Worth! Cool!

Anyone got pics of the new Bear paint?

AND....

Strega and Steveo were apparently HOT today!

486.17!!!  Dance Shocked

Wish I was there....

Strega's flyby before landing after an unusual Chzeck Mate, Citation Bravo, Strega overhead arrival!



The nicest F-86 I have ever seen...


Tacair took one of their Dolphins for a "swim"

Thanks for the Sabre shot!
Gorgeous!

That Sabre is one of the last three serving F-86's brought out of Bolivia in the 90's. I spent a lot of time with her during restoration. She is painted as a tribute to MOH recipient George Davis.  Great airplane.

On Friday, Junior landed Strega and set the tail down too quickly.  He caught a gust, and the mains lifted off about 5 feet before he got the tail off the ground, then recovered to manage a full stall 3-point.  I missed the scary part of the landing, unfortunately, and only got the apex of the baloon.  Anybody get it?
Ridgerunner was fast on Friday, as was Czechmate.
And, finally good lighting for a U-2 pass.
