Copperstate EAA Fly-In

[C VEICH]

A few from the show today. I've got a bunch more if there is interest. A good show but a bit leaner on antiques and warbirds than I remember, although it's been a decade since I've attended.

Actually its not EAA sanctioned, they pulled support a few years ago so now its just a get together basically. I went Friday with a buddy and I guess we should have gone today as some of those in your pix where not there yet. You mind if I post pix in your thread?

Thanks for the clarification Steve and by all means feel free to post your pictures here.

PS - I was born in San Manuel and spent about four of my very early years in Safford prior to moving to Phoenix.

Warbirds of Copperstate fly-in:

Part 2: Pretty much what Chad has just different perspective.


























Even though they may not be warbirds, they are biplanes and I really like biplanes

The blue aircraft with #720 on side and named "Lone Eagle" , got my attention. What is it? Found it to be a Canadian Harvard MK IV and
rebuilt to be a NA-50 replica. Rebuilt I think before 1990 according to one site, but still way cool!! The Harvard, T-6, and SNJ are such
great aircraft, glad I flew in a SNJ last year at Topeka.

Nice capture Bill, what day was that?

Nice photos, thanks for sharing. I just finished the book about Erich Hartmann titled "Blond Knight of Germany." In the list of wartime aircraft he flew , there's a NA-14 listed. I assume it was similar to the T-6. After spending 11 years in Russian prisons, he later joined the post war German Air Force, where he flew T-6G's in Arizona. Can't help to wonder if there are any T-6G's out there that were flown by the famous German aces of WW II?

Ooooh, someone did their homework on this one!!! Colors, demarcations, markings and stenciling are all bang-on. This is absolutely FABULOUS.

Can someone help me with this? It looks to me like a T-6 with a BT-13 FWF. Does it actually have a 985 on it and if so, why???
