My first entry is in tribute to all of the Bird Dog drivers... and especially in gratitude to my spin instructor, Ed Gunter, Bird Dog, Raven Pilot, who has flown the aircraft below at times with it's owner.

Thanks for the photo compliment Bear, much appreciated!!!
Fred, do you know if that is an original Zero or "T-6 Zero"?

Here are my final 2 entries. I probably shouldn't have uploaded 3 from the start since I actually got quite a few I was excited about at McConnell...oh well!

This is my favorite photos from a recent trip to deliver a Beech we had recently finished up for a customer in Switzerland. This was taken just after I had refueled the Beech in Sondrestrom, Greenland or as it was known in WWII as Bluie West One. This is where countless aircraft stopped for fuel going to and coming from the European Theatre. What a great place.

Guess I'll throw my hat into the ring. Don't have much and i know I've already been outclassed by some amazing shots but what the heck. You can put me in the amateur class. The only shots I really had a chance to take this year was at the Simsbury flyin. Enjoy
