New T-6 Resto Air-To-Air!

Sun May 18, 2008 8:38 pm

Friday, my dad flew Midwest Texans' newest restoration for a quick photo-shoot before she's delivered to her new owner this week. I had the priveledge to get the first photoshoot of this stunning T-6.

A BIG thank you to Tim Savage for selecting me to be the photog on this flight, and thank you to Dale Hoffman for hauling me around!

CENTER-LINE!!!

Hope you enjoyed my pics!

Great stuff, Trey! Gorgeous airplane, superb photography (as always)

. Your Dad's a good formation pilot, too... his eyes are on the leader in every photo.

Thanks for sharing what was obviously a great experience. You dog!

Cheers!

Yep... got X-ray vision... I'm a legend in my own mind...

Actually, just an assumption on my part, since he has his head turned the right way...

Cheers!

He was always sleeping when I flew the Lear with him.

Actually it was probably me sleeping and him doing the work. :shock:

Glen,

I rode with you in the Frozen Turkey as Geneseo once! So now youre making fun of me! :cry:

John, dad is notorious for sleeping on the job :gib:

I'll get in trouble for saying that... :ouch:

Trey,

you know I'd never make fun of you for flying with me. I WILL however, make fun of you for not writing your exams and getting your license!!! BUTT-HEAD!!!!!!! Now go start studying.

Glenn

PS you may have seen elsewhere here that the TBM is now hanging out at CWH and fighting off blue paint. Still got a bunch of the annual still to do if you want to head north of the border.

Nice shooting Trey.

For those that have never seen the old Circus Wagon this is what she looked like before the restoration.

When Tim was flying the airframe back in 2003 he had this patch made from the above photo.

Cheers,

Eric
