Great stuff, Paul. I don't think I have ever seen a C-47 that shiny before!

Thanks Eric, I struck out again on your pictures, I have no idea where they are posted but with 5.2 miles of space to look around the could be any where. They where diffently not where I thought they would be or by the aircraft for sale.

Not sure what happened with that, Paul. I have not heard back from the folks at Courtesy, although I know they are busy with the show. Maybe the printer didn't get them done on time or something. I am a bit disappointed, I had some of the T-28 guys stopping by to see the photos, now I look like I don't know what I am talking about. Bummer.

Well guys, every one is going home today from the airshow. I took a few more pictures today. Hope you enjoyed them.
