Straightening things out. :P

That's it for me. I'll post some odds'n'ends shots later, after Dave does his. It was great meeting you Dave. :) Maybe one day, the tri-state region could get together for lunch or something. :)

Next best thing to being there- good job.
I didn't see the P-40 when I was there; I'll have to go check it out some time.

Great stuff James!

I was surprised this year! Last year they only had the Liberator and B-17. There were no aircraft like the ones we saw flying yesterday! Wouldn't you know it, I only brought my wide angle lens and my daughter in tow! I finally could have gotten a few cool fly bye shots! Figures!

It was great meeting you Dave.  Maybe one day, the tri-state region could get together for lunch or something.
Definitely! Great meeting up with you also!
I have some shots that i will post later!!
'Great stuff once again James!

hey, did they ever figure out what gauge was not working in the Mustang which caused her to come back to the hanger?

They did indeed. I was inside the gift shop when she flew though. Only two passes. ;)
