Sorry, I don't have time with my duties. I did go Kart Racing with the Dutch Team. The pics above are the last flights of Maj. Paul 'Max' Moga, last flight for the Belgian pilot 'Mickey' and a shot of Saturdays good crowd.

Re: Aviation Nation 08

My wife and I went but were a little disappointed this year. There were almost no warbirds and no vendors to speak of. Maybe a reflection of the economy? Here are a few P-38 shots. Hopefully I haven't fouled them up uploading.

Yes, We were told that was indeed the former racer 'White Lightning'. She looks ' maaaaarvelous' in bright aluminum.

It's really N25Y, the Sky Ranger Oil Special from Houston's JD Reed with Lockheed 322 cowlings and induction stuff.

Re: Aviation Nation 08

Are you saying they aren't?

[steve D]

Re: Aviation Nation 08

Thats correct

[stuntflyr]

Re: Aviation Nation 08

So with all of the Training Command surplus all over the country, JD Reed had someone fabricate these cowlings? OR are they from an H or G?
I'd like to know what propeller blades were used on the airplane in 1947 also, maybe since you seem informed you can enlighten?
