Thanks alot, those are great shots, I really like the contrast of colors between southern cross and steves yellow helmet (painted VF-84 colors).

Thanks Victor for showing me the photo from the Sunday Silver race with me and Matt Jackson. That's the first photo I've seen of that race. If possible I'd love to purchase a print.

The VF-84 helmet is a holdover from when I owned a T-28 painted in that scheme. That helmet has the CEP earplug system, which really helps with the noise of a Sea Fury at race power. However the CEP failed so I used my standard USAF grey model for the weekend.

At the moment I'm working at my office in Shenzhen China, and I must say it's been interesting telling Art Vance stories to my local friends. I'm not sure all of Art's most famous quotes should be translated into Mandarin, but the expressions on the faces of the Chinese is priceless. I deeply regret that I will not be able to attend the memorial service for Art, but my thoughts are definately with those who knew and loved him.
