Yes Sir that is it. We have it all together. All we need to do is put the prop on and some minor stuff.

The 2011 Warbirds over the Beach was awesome! Here is the FW 190! She sounded so sweet! It is such a tough aircraft. Being a volunteer down there I get so close to the aircraft and airshow! I got to work the flight line, let's just say I felt the wind every time something took off. We also had a special guest the AVRO LANCASTER. We had to wear these crazy yellow shirts with a vest so we can be seen by the pilots. Also I met Bud Anderson, Wild Bill Guernere and a German ME 109 Pilot vet. Oh and how could I forget the Warbird Pinup.

How did I miss this thread????? Awesome stuf!!!

 

[davetheWWIInut]

It was really fun, I volunteered both days. It had German situations to where they fired the museums 88 gun at the Yak 3 when the FW 190 was chasing it. Next show is in the summer sometime, I will keep you all up to speed. Other than that if I am not at work I am at the museum LOL

Dave, definitely keep us posted on the next show. I may have opportunity to be in that area in August.

I assume that Lanc is the Mynarski Memorial Lanc from the Canadian Warplane Heritage.

 

[davetheWWIInut]

Correct that is the Mynarski Memorial Lanc from the Canadian Warplane Heritage. Very proud to have it at the show.
