Thanks for the report and photos. I like to leave it to pros like you to take great shots- I prefer to soak in the sights and sounds not worrying about peering through a view finder.

It really is a great show and the closest I have ever been to aircraft on the flight line and on the runway. A special setting.

Thanks again for posting and to the MAM team.

Was there last year and his FW190 A model flew and the D model , I guess can't. The A model is now in Madras ,Oregon and from the pictures I see another" A" model. Is this "new" A model a flier? It is a great show and I will return. I did watch some of the show on his webcams.

Terrific photos! First time I've seen a Skyraider with that barn door of a dive brake extended.
What was the CWH Lancaster's mechanical issue?

Richard, thanks for including me in the show report- it was fantastic to finally meet you after all this time, and that long, wandering chat on Saturday evening will be remembered for quite some time. :)

Cheers!

Thanks very much guys for all the encouraging words. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the report, and the photographs. And Lynn... it was a real pleasure to finally get to meet you over the weekend. Our conversations, completely away from aviation, were really entertaining, and Tony Harmsworth felt the same. I will get his contact information for you if you like.

Cheers,
Richard
