Hey Shadowgunner! How did the airshow go today for you? I got a call from a buddy of mine this morning while he was there! Here's a photo he just sent me. Three of the coolest aircraft EVER!!! Sounds like everyone had a great time! Mark

Here's the F-106 shot he just sent me. Notice how they put Col. Rogers' old P-51 nose art, and his name on the right canopy frame. They still have Jimmy Jumper's name on the left side.

In one word Mark: Awesome.
Your buddies shot was very early yesterday or today. I was opening up her canopy and cinching down the straps and chains (so kids couldn't fall through) a little after 8am. I have had a non stop stream of visitors on both days; from 8:30 to 4pm closing. She was looking sweet in the sun; and I received many compliments on how good she looked. Kids loved her and many adults couldn't resist sitting in the cockpit after their kids got out. Outstanding experience for me. I related as much info about the six as I could and great many visitors were amazed at how great a plane she really was. I don't have to convince anyone in this forum.

Hey Shadowgunner! How did the airshow go today for you? I got a call from a buddy of mine this morning while he was there! Here's a photo he just sent me. Three of the coolest aircraft EVER!!! Sounds like everyone had a great time! Mark Did you guys see this post I made last night? For some reason it didn't post originally, so I reposted it, I saw BOTH, and now it doesn't show up when I click on the 50 Recent Posts link. However, when I open up the topic, there it is! That's how I was able to quote it here. Wierd!
