Here are some pictures from today!

I cant remember having better weather for this show. Mid 70's and sunny.

Edit, here are a few more.

Awesome shots. Thanks. I hope that Wildcat never changes. I love both the scheme and the passenger conversion it has.

TAdan, good photos,thanks for posting.

Yes Friday was beautiful, but Saturday, well, not so much.
Dark sky and a little rain mid afternoon.

Here are a couple of mine from Friday also.

TADan and Bill:
Thanks for posting the photos!
I unfortunately couldn't attend this year so I'm forced to live the show vicariously thru your photos!
Thanks again and please post some more! (even of the displays too!)

As first timers the Curtiss Pusher crew sure enjoyed the weekend. We were treated well by the organisers, marshallers, audience, and everyone else, great time. Loved all the WW2 era vehicles and the reenactors, lots of atmosphere. Got to sit on a bench outside the hotel for a half hour on Friday night talking to Babe Heffron, and met Mudge and Mrs. Mudge on Sunday-

It has been red since they started flying it with the new engines.

Andy,
Nice meeting you, too. The announcer kept telling us Bob was flying on Sunday. You sure did get your time in.

The announcer told us a couple of times that you'd be landing this time and you just kept on keepin' on. Sounded like he was getting a bit peeved with you for not landing when he thought you should so they could get the rest of the flying started. We thought it was hilarious.
Good show.

Mudge the entertained :drink3:

I let the Curtiss Pusher fly as long as he wanted to because it is such a wondeful sight to see in the air. Just a bit of miscommunication between Larry and myself.

It was a fantastic weekend! I was there with Baldeagle and the rest of the Pusher pushers and had a great weekend. Additionally, I thought the crowd was great. We had a steady stream of folks stopping who really seemed interested in the airplane.

It was also nice to get a chance to say a brief hello to Mr and Mrs Mudge as well as many others!
