What a great trip back in time! I remember the show in the last year they did it and that C-54 was nothing short of amazing! Thanks for sharing the photos!

: During the early 90s the Spence's, who own North America's
: only airworthy Swordfish, held an airshow at thier privat
: e airstrip. I was able to attend the last two years of the
: event and witness the spectacular arrival of Contract Air
: Cargo's C-54. With the Sepnce's house at one end of the s
: hort runway it was always a treat to see the C-54 land and
: take-off.

: I have dedicated a page of photos on my website to the C-5
: 4 at Muirkirk. I know some of you were there so it will br
: ing back memories and for those that were not you missed a
: good one.

: BTW The Spences still own and operate the Swordfish but ha
: ve attend few shows over the past couple of years. Most sh
: ows in the area show little interest in the aircraft or ca
: n't afford the price. Pete Spence who is one of the pilots
: flies in the Canadian Harvards a three plane Harvard aero
