Here's a re-cap of my weekend: Dad and I took Tom Wood's T-6 to Glenndale airport, just SE of Kokomo, IN. Every year the airport managers set up a charity/ fundraiser for an extremely rare disease called SMA, or Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Dad has flown rides in the '6 for the past couple of years, and this year was my first year to go.
Here's my photo-report from this past weekend's fun
Here's me getting a weather breifing on my grill
My helmet bag and our ride...
Bob Japunza got some prop vortices in his cool little homebuilt...
Larry Jacoby (sp?) was also doing rides in his beautiful Stearman on Saturday.
And yes, this is a full prop-arc on a Stearman in taxi-power 8)
And on the topic of prop-blur...
Nathan Davis also had his Mustang there on Saturday, umm, does it get any better than this???
I also had the opportunity to fly with an awesome acro instructer, Mike Wild, in his Super Decathalon. What a RIDE! This flight was the most acro I'd ever done, in the picture my dad took, you can see the sweat on my face after we landed, we had about 5+g and -1g for our high and low.
I also capped my flight off with a near-perfect 3-point landing 8)
That's me up front all soaked, but man it was a BLAST!
BLAST
And here's some shots of my dad. He flew around 50 charity rides in two and a half days!!!
Note the gorgeous blue flame coming out of the exhaust!
Here's my dad giving Mike a ride after he taught me in the Decathalon.
And the end to a truly great weekend...
Hope you enjoyed my shots!
