Eric!

:D :D :D

It was my pleasure to take you up and John, we had so much fun. Poor John was still laughing about that Split-S I pulled on him when you flew in that cloud...

Man!

That was so intense flying...

I'm yelling and running and jumping around in the house since I've been back...

Woo!!

Dare I say?

Woo!!

:D :D :D

Not the same cloud but I’m sure everyone gets the idea of the weather we were flying through today.

Cheers,

Well I sure did!

Thanks for the Photo, Mike, and thanks for everything else you did there to keep things running smoothly.

Very successful event.... the beautiful airplanes all flew well, there were no prangs, and the spectators were kept out of the props. (I guess that's my definition of a good air display.)

And I got to fly that lovely "new" DH 82C five times!

See you again,

Dave

You are welcome sir! Thanks for the ride.

Saturday was the day for practice flights for the main event on Sunday. Sunday was the Battle of Britain event with Lancaster flypast at the Canada Aviation Museum.

Was Rob G. flying the Russell Hurricane? So, were you Rob? Please give us your prospective on things if you where.

Great shots. Wish I could have seem that, what a flight!

Ooops! Looks like the tan Hurricane forgot to retract his step. You see that occasionally in the Sea Furies too.
