I only made it to Breckenridge once, in 91. This was probarbly the best airshow i've been to in the U. S. as things were kinda relaxed. Everybody had a good time, then it was briefing and some display flying. Then relaxing again, before the barbecue in Bill Arnot's hangar. And then the real flying started! The guys would sneak up on you from behind while sitting eating catfish, and do flyby's over the hangar. You would hear a mighty roar, then look towards the hangar door and see a B-25 with smoke on thunder away. Of course one of the Mustang boys did a dive the other way, towards us and almost shaved our heads, and stripping the roof off Arnot's hangar in the process! And the hospitality, these guys made everybody feel warm and welcome. And this is not always the case....
