JUST PLANE FUN DAY @ East Hampton Airport 9/9/17

[Capt. Vick]

A free* event, though a donation is suggested. Airplanes, cars and three food trucks.

 

[Capt. Vick]

TBM Avenger owned by Jeff Clyman. Who owns The Cockpit in NYC and runs the American Aviation Museum at Republic Airport.

A George Bush autographed edition.

Never saw one with external wing racks...anyone else?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Overheard a guy tell his girlfriend that this was the famous Spitfire. I threw up a little in my mouth...it's obviously a MiG 15.

This one was for sale...

...would have bought it but I left my wallet in the minivan.

I took this picture because it reminded me of myself...an Italian dressed as an Irishman!

good stuff Jim, there is always one of those guys at every event isn't there ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Jack & Lily are (in front of a) WACO!

A Stinson Reliant...ain't she a beaut!

Jack's favorite movie is Jurassic Park so he had to get his picture taken with this one. I don't know if you can make it out, but around the T-Rex logo it says Fossil Fliers.

Thought this was interesting. It looks like the starter extends to engage the gear on the prop-shaft. Do I have that right?

Great stuff Jim.
As for wrongly naming the aircraft, the best I overheard was at RAF Cosford in 2013, when a bloke told his son the aircraft they were looking at, an overall black-painted SEPECAT Jaguar, was a Lancaster !!!

 

[Capt. Vick]

OMG!!!!!!!!
