Oh yes, quite a few happy hours in her. Courtesy of Bill Arnot who was the owner prior to Jack Erickson. I met him originally at the Slaton,Texas airshow around 1985 or so. In fact, I still have the origial "Silver Lady" cap that he gave me. Being nearly twenty years old, it's looking a little worse for wear. Mr. Arnot was known for giving rides to anybody that was standing around, he is a true gentleman. I've also got a couple of trips logged in the "Super Rabbit" courtesy of my friends Jack Cook and Jeff Wright.
If anybody has a copy of the November 1989 issue of Air Classics, look on page 46. You can see my silhouette in the tail turret. Phil Makanna was taking pictures of Neil Andersons Yak 11 from the escape hatch. Michael O'Leary was taking pictures of the B-25 and Yak from Howard Pardue's T-6.
There are a few pictures of Silver Lady and Super Rabbit on my original webshots account. http://community.webshots.com/user/bradleypilgrim
