Beautiful day @ WOH. Met several WIXers (Brad of C17 fame, Karen-Lady O2 Pilot, Don Price-SpannerMkV, and Rick H-Collings Foundation), and finally Bomberflight-from England-who has great taste in photo equipment-uses the same setup I do). Here are photos of the Heritage Flights from today.Image

Don't feel like double posting tonight - and my pictures really weren't that great. Did get to help out with the tent again and had a blast.

Great pics!

Back when they were still flying warbirds, I always wished the Kalamazoo Air Zoo would do a Heritage Flight with their P-47 and one of the A-10s from nearby Battle Creek. After all, the Air Zoo nearly pioneered the concept with the first Grumman Cat Flight in the early '80s.

Too bad we couldn't get Gumby in the 47 up with the 38/51/F15- I guess he had his hands full in the A4 at that moment-
Still I have always wished we could do a heritage with the 3 primary European fighters and someting modern.

Really Really really sad that I missed the show this year- :( :(
