This came up on the main WIX hangar at http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... hp?t=10204 and since a bunch of you seem to be frozen up there in the great white north without any local warbird activity flying around you, how about it?
Got a picture of your car and an airplane? Will, since you asked.......(it's my wifes car)

This was the best that I could do :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Taken at the GTO Weekend show at Freedom Hill Memorial Park, MI with F-4C 66-7755.

Image

Here are my toys and I'll and make them as aviation related as I can.

Here I am, doing a fly-byin my '68 GTO 400/4spd.

Image
Image
Image

Here is my project '66 GTO 400/4spd and it features a "Air Superiority Gray" Paint scheme :wink:

Image
Image

And here is my Wife's dowry, a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza 140/4spd ("F" Nader, this is a Bad ASS fun little car)

The aviation link is that this car was buzzed almost daily by Hawkeyes and Greyhounds for 5 years while living just outside of NAS Norfolk........Plus it's gotta "Air-Cooled" 6 Cyl engine. How cool is that? :D

Shay,

Where abouts is Freedom Hill Memorial Park? On my 2007 visit, maybe I'll swing by there.

Wow, thanks, that's but a short drive from the inlaws, I'll have to stop there during my visit to Thunder Over Michigan in 2007. I found a newly posted AH-1 Cobra posted at a Veterans hall near their town, on the day I was leaving this past August.

I think we already had a thread like this once and Scott made us take it down so the kiddies wouldn't ask too many questions...
