What a blast!!!!

Just got back after an amazing 3 days at Yankee. It was great seeing some of the guys from the board. Fantastic photography, fantastic line-up of aircraft and some great flying despite not having a closed airspace. The show was a total success and the weather co-operated except for a short thunder storm that blew through the area Friday night. I ended this years experience with a T-6/SNV-1 dawn patrol that was truly awsome. Can't wait to see the pics.

Mike H sorry I was not in when you called at 10:30. Mike Schneider informed me the Super Corsair was going to be lit for a night time shot in his up-comming video, The Corsair Experience, http://www.f4ucorsair.com/main.htm and said if I was interested in shooting stills at the same time I was welcome so I was out on the ramp until 11pm. It was fantastic watching these giys set up the lighting and shoot the video. I have tried many night time shots with limited success so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I used the lighting well. Pics will be posted soon. Thanks Mike S and looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I can help put some names to the WIX member photo at Yankee. Top row left is Richard Alnutt, James P. Church and Jim Bates. Top row far right is Pat Carry. Bottom row left is me, Eric, Al Moore, Todd Hackbarth, Tim Savage, SteveT and Mike Henninger. Under the wing is Tina Church looking after Tim's little boy :-) I'm sorry for not remembering who the other two names :-(

I will let you know when I have some photos posted.

Happy Landings,


Eric
