Glad folks seem to be enjoying my pictures so far. Well, my wife is in Europe, it's freezing cold outside, and I'm sick of raking the yard, so I have some time on my hands, Here are a couple more.

Why race? A T-6 racer I know who has lots of time in F-16s and F-117s, says one reason he enjoys racing is that in the military he never got to fly so low.

Here are a couple of my all time favourite photo subjects -- Chuck Hall and Dan Martin...

My wife Birgitta also takes the occasional Race photo. This is from the T-6 Pace Plane -- in this case Steve Dilda's "Felix".

Jack -- you should enjoy this one. I think you know a couple of these birds...

I think that first shot trumps Jacks "greatest Mustang Shot of All Time"
:wink:

Great stuff!

That Dennis Buehn & "Dope on a Rope" Lee Oman in #69.
Jim sold them just before the races and I think #4 has been repainted.
I don't know #44 we'll get #44 there this year or not.
Any shots of my friend Sam Richardson getting his hind end chewed off by Howard Pardue???

Jack -- Does Jim have any more sixes in the pipeline? I emember that at one time he had a bunch of airframes. I think Dennis really wants to win a Gold -- that #4 has always been a very fast airframe and Dennis knows a lot of tricks. I think he may have built up more T-6s than anybody since North American!

I'm afraid I missed the Pardue - Richardson brouhaha. Just as well -- I try not to do accidents -- not what I want to be known for.

How is Sam these days -- he was fairly badly hurt in that Arizona situation, wasn't he?

Fun Fun Fun!!!

I'd love to get the chance to fly something like that low and fast!

I guess I'll have to settle with flying floatplanes low on the rivers. I just need the cash rent one. :(

So does Birgitta, LOL! Here's another of hers -- this from the Tunica, Miss issippi event a couple of years ago...

Gee Jack -- must be nice to have a B-25 handy to work out of! Nice shot.
