Its been more than 20years since I have seen an ME/Buchon in the air...Skip Holm arrived at the Watsonville airshow with a pass down the runway that still gives me goose bumps..Harlold was not far behind in P-51 Strawboss 2...Harold is a great down to earth guy, and his restoration is superb. It was impressive to watch Skip wrangle that a/c onto the runway...as he says "that airplane doesnt do straight". We arrived in the bombers with Dan Martin (Ridge Runner)and Dave Morss flying Gerry Gabe's A model Mustang...what a spectacular flight!...over the Golden Gate Bridge right down the coast to Watsonville. We had a Beech 18 camera ship coutesy of Jimmy Rawlison...be watching for those shots!
