I finally got to sneak away on Mother's Day to grab a few static shots.  A real beauty.  An EAA guy was saying that the belly turret was recently replaced when a gear-up occurred while taxing.  Pilot error?  Since both collapsed and the switch relocated to a "safer" position, I'd say so.  Ouch.

Thank you. Most fun was helping the EAA guys "start" the plane. We had to walk through about 8 "props" to clear the cylinders of oil.  Then we flew to Chino and returned to San Diego via auto. Most of the other EAA members were not as agile as I so consequently there was ample time in the nose for me. Not a bad payoff for working the EAA booth at Gillespie during Aluminum Overcast's stay.
