Ray Fagen Airshow Pics

...Nobody mentioned the Helldiver that is under restoration there??? That was cool!...

Well poop my pants...someone suggested to me that it was still down in Wichita, so I never gave a thought of hunting hangars.

You DID take pics of it, right Gary?

I did spy the Helldiver on Friday...the hanger it was in was not open on Saturday. Sorry I did not get pics when I had a chance!

If I remember correctly Sue does not have a kill. The marking on her is from Bohna's (sp?) time in a P-38.

Doh...you're correct. I guess I'm one of those historical revisionists. Good catch.

No pics , Dan.....I had left my camera in the Poon, and my cell was dead after the flight in Friday...Fagan's hid it Saturday...it was on a rolling jig...had to make room for aircraft that night.

Great Photo's! This is a show, that i would love to attend soon. It seems the Fagen family has put together a top of the line museum and show. But i do have to ask, as i haven't seen it mentioned here. Who's P-63 was in attendance? Does it belong to the Texas Flying Legends group or a private party?

The P-63 is owned by John Bagley/Legacy Flight Museum (and it was flown by John Bagley at the show). It was previously owned by Apollo 8 astronaut Frank Borman, and was restored to very detailed/fully stock condition by Square One Aviation in the 90's. It won Oshkosh WWII Grand Champion in 1998. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Legacy-F ... 86?fref=ts

Regarding the Helldiver, for those that saw it, is it still in primer or has it been painted yet?

I'm not really into P-39/63's, but what a couple of great videos. These are from the Legacy Flight Museum's Facebook page.
