I can attest to the fact that Lon is a better pilot than that F-86 landing. I heard the AW ****E but never saw it because I was too busy trying to make Charlie n Snoopy puke from outside loops with the WACO.Warbird Charlie

I hear you Lon, I was so nervous flying with these guys, I was shaking when I first flew the Pitts! Didn't help when the wheel hub broke and I broke a prop on her. Ryan had a set of Dave Browns which he generously gave me and she flew great after that. Got some runway rash on the P40 as well when my touch and go went sideways, literally! The plane headed towards the Flight Line, so I jammed the throttle, note to self: Don't jam the throttle with a 60kv at low speeds unless you like landing upside down. Result: I need a new nose and a little touchup.
Thanks to the guys though, I learned a lot on landing warbirds which is my mission this week if the weather is good.
Diane came up with the name, "Brothers In Flight" I like it!

Yes, it was there for sure, my first reaction was, hey ,I know that trailer!
I'd say, by the look of that flight, you're back in the saddle again Ben!
And Lon, quality trumps quantity, that's some great video footage!
Charlie, we'll all have to try and park together next year!
I just had too much fun!!
The metal sides for the P40 came today, now if only the props would come in stock....

I thought others may be interrested in visiting this site. Has some great things to put up in my mancave/hanger.

Location of this flight is at Aerohawk Field, Iowa City, Iowa. Plane is a F-86 80mm EDF by Freewing.Lon
