Ladies and Gents... My apologies for posting a You tube link, but this was/is one of the best videos I have ever viewed with "FIFI", "Lil", "Bucket of Bolts", "Sentimental Journey", and the whole fighter fleet of the So Cal Wing... It is advertising for this years tour, but a great deal of footage came from the first part of the tour with "FIFI" making the trip to Cali.... Chuck, you look good in the Pony bird too! Kudos to all involved and to Scott Slocum... Just a bit of absolutely jaw dropping footage...... This is going to make me get back out on the road (again) with "FIFI" and "Lil"....
I just wanted to share this video with all of you...... alan

BTW... I believe Jason Somes was flying the Zero..

Spectacular video! Thanks for posting that. I only wish Fifi were coming to a city near me. I am definitely going to fly in that plane someday....

When will "Diamond LiL" be ready for flight? When I saw her on April 2nd, at Addison , she was still on stands and being worked on. Was told she still had some issues from the front gear collapse and that since it's down may as well fix all the little things that wear out. Hope she's ready for the Reading Pa. show.

Hey Lynn.... Yeah, that might be Stewart flying rather than Chuck, but you know I have to keep Chuck out front! Chuck put in a lot of Mustang time last year being out on the road with "FIFI". Taylor, thanks for finding and reposting the video link......
PJ, I will have an update on "Lil" soon.....
Thanks everyone....
