We're working hard to get the Skyhawk and Skyraider ready for Airventure 2010 and we'll have some neat additions to both airplanes.

Thanks, David. Your hard work is appreciated. I am really looking forward to seeing the Skyhawk and the Skyraider in the air when I make my first trip to Oshkosh in July.

Great stuff David! Good job on the air-to-air video!

The air was absolutely smooth that day and Paul was really making videoing easy from the back seat of the L-39. Glad you guys enjoyed it.

If the Grasshopper is going to Oshk as well, better give it about a 4 day lead before sending the Scooter! Very cool to see her flying! Wish Oshkosh was on my list this year.

David,

Awesome!!

You should talk the powers that be into bringing her out to the Jet Blast in wendover! April 30-May 2. It is being put on by the Classic Jet Aircraft Association and there will be a bunch of great training on tap was well as discounted fuel!

Hi Xavier,
Will be good to see you at Osh again. Maybe we can get some really good photos from the air by a pro. You interested?
Hi Tom,
It would be neat to get her out West, but I think this year we will be staying close to home as we will have to chase it with a huffer cart to get it started. We'll mostly be doing training for pilots and for maint with just a few Airshows this year. We've talked about converting to an electric start and if we do this next winter, she'll be able to go any where.
Thanks,
David

I have a photo ship available for an A-4 air-to-air.

David,

we have a huffer and it is only 1100nm from Waekegan! and you will never find a better long straight easy approach than Wendover

I think I read somewhere that the scooter can do about 1700nm? but then that is pretty close to bingo on the fuel I guess. . .

Tom P.

Now I know we'll have to take you up on the offer Paul . One thing I've also learned is to never say never. You never know Tom, we could head West someday if we activate the drop tanks. We have a bit of maintenance to finish and then we'll start training. We roll the Scooter in to maint next week. I'll make a post when we're ready to start flying her regularly.

David, how dare you ask if I am interested... ?
If T-33-Paul allows a Froggy to leap in his backseat, anytime !

Tom, it's not the huffer that's a problem, it's the starter probe issue.
