Neal Melton flew the Skyraider yesterday twice over in Sevierville. I missed it last Fall so I was sure to be there this time. He did a solo hop, landed, and then later joined up with a AT-6. Of note, Neal has added some ordnance hard points underwing since I saw the plane last. Some camera issues (grrrr) kept me from getting any pictures of the solo flight; he made some great diving passes with dive brakes extended. Nice of him to go up again.

Is that the T-6 that Wes Stower owns a share of?

Great shots, David; thanks for sharing. I deleted my OV-10 pictures from inside the museum as yours are so much more clear. Hope to hear more about that one in the future. The Bronco was the first plane I ever saw fly at an airshow that really "hooked" me (Pax River, 1970 or so). Seeing a plane roll and dive and climb like that just blew my little mind. Hopefully this one will be a flyer soon too.

Enjoyed your videos too, especially the one of the Sea Fury from Lebanon, TN last year.
