Breckenridge Airshow Pictures

Had a short but fun time with Brad Pilgram on Friday afternoon during his stop here in DFW. While we were talking we both told our stories of the airshows at Breckenridge. Does anyone have a gallery of pictures on the web from those shows? I made almost every show from 1987 until the last one. Fun times and some great Warbird flying! In 1987 I was 13 so those pilots flying in the show were my idols! These were all the pilots right off the pages of AIR CLASSICS! I'll have to put together a page of my pictures from what I consider highlights from those shows. Having attended the Chino show for the first time this year that is about as close that I have come to seeing that many Warbirds fly in a smaller setting. Oshkosh is great with the amount of Warbirds in attendance but not the same when the guys can just jump in their machines and go do flybys. Dont think I will ever forget the time at Breckenridge when Howard Pardue was flying the CAF Spitfire and buzzed a group of us standing next to the runway. Right over our heads! Or the time Lone Star's Tigercat suprised us from behind with a roaring flyby. Just good stuff... Anyone else have some of their pictures on a web site?
