Sure we do. Taken back in August over Santa Rosa. Green camo is Dave King, my CJ ride was flown by Steve Holifield.

I had one for 5 years. They are highly underrated. They are about the sweetest flying military airplanes ever made with no vices whatsoever. Have the same performance of a T-6 on 13-15 gph and very light balanced controls. Very simple mechanically, smooth engine and robust airframe. Don

I understand that the only way the Russian original beats it is in the event of undercarriage failure when it can escape damage by landing on the partially exposed wheels, and using the brakes! (This pre-supposes the mill has been shut down and a few stabs on the starter given to get the prop out of the way.

Don't forget to chock it once you've come to a complete stop.

Lemme see... I don't have near enough pictures of any of the LNC resident Changs...
That's the only one I've got handy that shows them at Corsicana this year. You can see Bud's clearly behind the RV and Jon's is hidden behind it.
