Dan,
It's a hoot flying the old bird, and much of the reward of owning/flying a machine like this is seeing the enjoyment it provides to warbird enthusiasts, kids, vets or anyone with even a passing interest. I've really enjoyed the interaction on the airshow ramps, especially hearing the vets' stories about flying or maintaining the old T-Bird.

Don,
For those of us that never seem to find time for Oshkosh anymore, thanks for the photos. I love the video and audio files. I cleaned out my hanger the other day and found my Stearman. I knew it was in there somewhere. I think it's time to give the turret parts a rest and start the annual on the Stearman, before I loose it again. I did manage to give Big Al's Stearman a "shock strut work out" on Saturday. That was fun.
