I got to see your field in Billings last December when I was up there for a few weeks for some medical work. Very impressive facility! I brought a plane up with me to fly, but the winds were a bit more than I wanted to risk the plane in. Maybe next summer I can make it up there at one of your events.
Cheers

Great pics Dave, love the shots of my P40, the take off one looks like he's taking off on a mission from Burma. Unfortunately, after six years of faithful service, La Patrona, my F7F Tigercat augured in. She took off great, did a turn around to the backside of the pattern with gear up when this loud bang happened and she was into the ground. The nacelle let go and the prop chewed the fuse up. Ironic thing is that it was the nacelle that never gave me any problems, the other one I had to chop the nose ring off and epoxy the motor mount to keep it in place. Looks like a joint/ seam failure that runs horizontally at 3 and 6 o'clock on the nacelle. I'll miss the old Gal, but what do you do?
My RV8 buried behind the big boys, it was orange day!
The P-40 parked beside Chris' 1200 E flite P 51. This guy is a natural pilot, been flying for four months and whips that Mustang around like a pro. Had a great turnout and the weather was in the 70's, just perfect.

Good pics of the flightline you took that I did not cover with my camera. It was a very good turnout for an October Fun Fly, so that is good on all the planners for the event, plus of course all the folks who traveled from Montana and elsewhere to attend, besides all the locals who showed up.
