Figures, the year I do not plan to go, they bring in Mustangs and a Corsair. Don't get me wrong, trainers and liaison planes are great but they have a ton show up every year.

Cant wait for Sun N Fun! Is there going to be a WIX gathering?

You are an outstanding photographer and a great asset to this board.
You capture moments of these magnificent flying machines which represent and honor our past military heroes like no one else.
I'm sure I speak for all who see your work. THANK YOU.

This Mustang is N201F owned for many years by John Mark in Oshkosh and then was purchased by Harry Barr and named "Dusty's Dolly" while he was waiting for his other mustang "Barbara Jean" to be rebuilt... Doug Matthews recently purchased it to go with his corsair to form a new flying museum up in Georgia...[/quote]
