I got together with Steve at the California Capital Air Show the weekend before Reno. He is such a great guy! I really like him.

We sat in his car while my dad wandered around patiently!

I agree. I've met Steve Hinton on a couple of occasions. If there was ever a guy who could have a monstrous ego but doesn't, he's the one. He is one of the most personable people I've met in a long time.

Thank you Evan for the great interview. Steve is one of my favourite people in aviation. I always look forward to your next interview...

Great job Evan. I also enjoyed your interview with Larry Perkins. Larry is a very good friend.

Well done Evan, you can't get any better than Steve Hinton. The Mustang pictured was at Reno this year, is that Spam Can?

Thanks

I e-mailed Steve a good few years ago regarding the airworthy Zeros in THAT 2001 film, and he was kind enough to send me a detailed response. Anyone who takes a minute or two from their busy schedule for someone as lowly as myself instantly gets a thumbs-up from me.

Yes, Spam Can is now polished with a yellow nose spinner and yellow horizontal tail.

While visiting Planes of Fame in late 2000 while waiting to do some vintage helicopter flying, a museum volunteer took me around behind the ropes and introduced me to Steve. A very nice guy..I was very impressed.

Nice stuff, Evan. You have a lot of other cool interviews and pictures there too. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.

Evan, I'm not going to repeat all the Kudos stated here....You deserve all of them. You really have a great future in the warbird community if you keep up your current interest and learn from those you interview. You're doing wonderfully.
