The CAF Heart of America wing had there open house this weekend at NAS Olathe (aka NewCentury Aircenter) KS. Fifi came up to visit and flew over the house all weekend. P-51 Gunfighter, AC-47 Spooky from Forbes Field, and numerous other small types were all there. As a bonus Witchcraft was in town at the Kansas City downtown airport and flew over a couple of times as well. A very rare treat for us here in Kansas.

P51 with a RED Tail just a few miles east of KLVN, nice roll about 1 mile east of my house. Great sound! By the way the B 25 ride a week or so ago was GREAT!! Hugh

Was trying to unload PB4Y-2 parts in Michigan, and a few dark blue jet types kept making an awful racket at the airport and surrounding community......Way cool!

So, STORMBIRDS finally got #3 finished enough to test fly it, a guess would be Wolf flying the 262 and Ben Hall in the FOUGA cool deal.

Nope Bud and Jim in the fouga.

Fairly sure I saw FIFI today, but I was at least 10 miles away so I'm not totally sure.

So, we can look forward to another 262 spread in ERROR SPASTICS?
