I was rolling down the road today headed for another lunch on the run, and this flew over!
They will be at Arlington Muni (TX) all weekend, on a tour stop.

I'm planning to head out there on Sunday. At the very least, I'll tour the airplane and shoot some detail photos of the interior. If things go my way, I'll take a ride!

Cheers!

Yes, I wore my VFM uniform shirt and ID badge. Might as well publicize our Museum to the other warbird enthusiasts, right? :wink:

Cheers!

Regarding photo #2...

Pilot's postflight writeup in logbook:

"Dead bugs on windscreen."

Mechanic's response in logbook:

"Live bugs are on back-order."

:lol:
