Had to work on Saturday, and no money on Sunday. Sucks.

That Stuart tank is a buddy of mine, he sells cars at a VW dealership. Has a bitchin radial engine out back.

 

I would have killed to be there, almost. But When I get there for the LARS in a few weeks, the Planes of Fame (and hopefully some resto shops) is definitely on the agenda.

 

Thanks, those are cool pictures. I can't imagine what it would be like to fly in a B-17 during the war, those guys had giant brass balls. B-17s were giant lumbering behemoths, and P-51s only had so much range on their gas tanks for holding off those Me-109s!

 

here's a couple videos I took..
What a sound!

i forgot how to enable the video though..

Awesome pics & video Ollin !

Did you see Moi there with his WWII re enactment group ?

 

Tigercat........cool to see a rare bird........not that they allare rare.

 

Great pics. I would have loved to have seen it. Not that many air shows around my way. Three years ago a B-25 Mitchell flew over our house twice, the first time at about 300 feet and the second time much lower and dipping his wings. I love those old warbirds.

 

im sorry i thought this was a hot rod website .
i must have logged onto the history channels website by mistake.
my bad.

 

damn - that 50 Chevy pickup is perfect.

 

I was there on sunday and that B-17 in the pics had a big gash in the wing apparently they hit a bird on saturday. (Still had feathers in the wing)
Great show overall!

 

i was there on sunday and it was sweet

did you see the polished p51 that was flying around

that thing was sweet looking
