How's the T-Bolt coming along?

Way to go, Doug! :drink3:

Are y'all gonna bring the Mohawk out to the Cowtown Warbird Roundup again this year? It sure was a hit last year!

Cheers!

Eric:

The VN segment of the Airsho this year will have all the airplanes and helios from last year plus we'll add the AC-47 Spooky and perhaps a "fast mover" to add to the mix. Thanks for agreeing to reappear: we've got some additional pyro and stuff to make it even more authentic. The Mohawk will have some Willie Pete to mark your targets! (Thanks Doug for getting checked out in it in time to come to Midland)

I wouldn't miss it for the world. I will have done about a dozen shows this year in the AD and I think Midland will be the highlight of the season. I am scrambling to get the 20mm cannons on the airplane, but will have them on in time for Midland. I has taken two years, but I have virtually every part for the 4 M2 20s and have them completely overhauled, to include feeder motors and chutes. Should be alot of fun.
