She, if she is a she, too fuzzy to tell in the tail wheel inspection shot, looks like she does a pretty thorough post flight..great pics and thanks.

Oh god, don't remind me. I set off down the road in my 56 Ford in 1990 and heard "meow" "meow", I stopped and searched and never did find it. I don't know what happened and I hope it doesn't ever again. Yeah guys, check those airplanes!

Here are some shots of the flying today (Friday 02/02/07. Not much activity up until 3pm when I left. They only flew in pairs and for a short time. They came in high over the end of the runway by Pima Museum and the photos are not great.

I need help in identying the P-51s.

I called a friend of mine today who is there at the conference...And actually I wasnt aware that he was there. He answered the phone screaming at me asking if he could call me back! There was a incredible sound from a jet in the background and all i could do was laugh and hang up. He called me back later on. He was standing next to the F-22 as she was firing up! ...MUST BE NICE! :axe:

Anyone know if there is thought of a FAC Heritage flight? O2 and A-10. Any A-10 pilots could you fly at 150 kts?

You know, that's a pretty darn good idea! I think that would be cool to see. :D

For that matter, it would be really cool to see at our Gathering of Twin Tails on May 12. :wink:

That's too far for me to fly from NE Ohio. I don't think I'll be there. I'll be thinking of you as your twin tail fly in is a great idea.

I think if I twist Karens arm just right I can get her to bring her O-2, and do the navigating so I can attend.

Here are a few more photos from yesterday The First two are of P-51ds that I don't the id of. The third is the F-4E 72-1494. Fourth is the F-16D 88-174.

The rest are not warbirds or were flying with Heritage Conference, but were at D-M yesterday. The A-10A is a typical sight around Tucson. It is the base for transition to the Warthog. This one is a "snowbird" from the Air Force Reserve in Kansas City. Squadrons from the northern states come to D-M for 1 to 2 weeks flying out the Goldwater Range in sw Arizona.

The F-15E 88-1704 flew several passes in between Heritage Flights
