the P-40 flew on sat, she went up with the Toro boys and circled around for a while. then came in front of show center and did a BEAUTIFUL roll then landed. then taxied up right in front and parked for a bit with the engine running. then either the pilot shut it down, or it quit. either way a few mins latter here came a tug, and they towed the P-40 away. i sure hope it is nothing serious, but if she didn't go up on sun, it may be a least ONE day serious.

But you're only half right regarding the wall of fire pic...I'm pretty sure that's Kyle Franklin flying with Amanda (Younkin) Franklin on the wing.

Of course you are absolutely right Jim. I guess my attention must have been focused on Mr. Franklin's better half. 8) I have corrected my post.

My apologies to the Franklins.
