Today it went really well. As I arrived the P-40 was chasing one of the zeros. 4 kates, 2 vals and several zeros. It should be going on tomorrow (Sun) until around noon.

The Lone Star Flight Museum Marshallers had a great time marshalling the Tora group practice this weekend. We didn't bend any metal. We sent most of them home today, some lingered for another cup of coffee. Good flying weather on Saturday but we were greeted Sunday morning with a cold North wind, but no one was discouraged. Still beautiful flying weather, albeit a little bumpy.

For those asking, the P-40 was Cavanaugh's and we certainly appreciated it presence and flying performances, it certainly was a crowd pleaser, singing on all twelve on the low passes.

Again, thanks to all in the Tora Group for the opportunity to marshall your practice while at the same time honing our skills for the up coming season.
All the best...
