Yep - Can't wait to get home - we just checked weather - looks like dogsh*t again, but I think we could get out. If we can't land at March AFB we're going into Thermal Air Port by Palm Springs - it just so happens Doug has a car there - If we go into March and it's IFR, we go ILS and a GPS (I'll be watching from the rear cockpit). If the weather was good, I'd be flyingfrom the front seat (RATS!)

Actually on take off it accelerates faster than the L-29! My father-in-law gave the check out to Bob and he actually liked flying it. I sat in it on Sat and it had a lot more room than the L-29 and the side - by - side seating I think is better for training.
There's a lot of Czech and Russian Jets here - the Provost is kind of different - it's so ugly it looks good!!!!

Wow, outstandingf pix guys! I must say I'm envious... Must be a great experience.
I was thinking of meeting Adler in the previous discussed Air Battle Over Bohemia Museum on the Czech-German borders... BTW, Erich, they screened a reportage in the Czech TV (I got it recorded) and Mr. Jan Zdiarsky was there.

Well it's almost 8 am here - we'll probably go out around 10 - the weather at March AFB is 7/8 overcast - we may have to go into Palm Springs....

Made it back! We showed up at base ops, the ceiling at Point Mugu got down to almost ground level - March AFB was worse!!! The whole basin was socked in and the tops of the Marine Layer was 7,000 feet. The guys at Mugu gave us a rental car, so Doug got me to the airport. Nice to be home. I got a few more pics, I'll post them tomorrow at work!

He just got that Provost. I think it looks pretty sweet. From what I overheard, he got a good deal on it too.

On take off all those vintage jet trainers are - When you take off in the -29 it seems like it takes forever for the nose to come it, then it kind of chugs into the air until you're on the downwind, at that point you're up to about 230 knots! 8)

How would the Provost compare to a T-33?

T-33 is the better of the 3, with the L-29 being the last slug.
The Fouga is worse than all 3!
