My camera was out of commission so Charles and TO took the pics. But I can tell you that the work they are doing on the P-61 is coming along. Alot more to do before it becomes airworthy but it was looking nice.

On a walk with my son we got to listen to Bud Anderson talking about the P-51. Too many people to get autograph but it was great.
 
Super shots love those birds gentlemen.
The banner Idea is great I may nick that for FL this year.
 
Great job guys. My hat's off to all three of you for going out in that heat. Man, it was brutal. I can think of few places I would NOT want to be beyond the flight line at Reading Airport. Combine the sun with the tarmac and you could take a couple years off your life. Plus, there was absolutely no air moving whatsoever on Saturday. At least down Phila way there wasn't.

Great job on the pics.
 
Our good fortune Tim was we were right at the fence so any wind there was we had no obstruction. And the spot we were at apparenttly was part of the taxiing - when the Corsairs and Avenger all started up, there was beautiful propwash!

It was all good.
 
Some B-25 pics.

I had a terrible time with my Nikon D70, yesterday. It would lock up after
almost every shot. I did get some good pic's. I took it to Ritz Camera
today, and in the morning it wil be on it's way to the Nikon Repair Center in
Roanoke, Va. I'll get it back in four to six weeks.

Anyhow, here's the first pic. Left to right, Me, ToughHombre and Njaco.

More to come....

Great stuff Charles - I think you guys should be the "Poster Children" for the site.

It was a tad warm, but the heat doesn't bother me. Me and TO were
at the fence all day. We set up at the fence (near the active) about
0845, and except for a couple excursions to take pic's of aircraft on
display, stayed there all day..... til about 1630. The heat caught up
with njaco about 1700. However, we all had a great time..

More Pictures please kiddywinks (you've started something now Joe)
Great shots Charles.
I would be willing to melt anyday just to get a look at those machines,
Luvly Jubbly:D

LOLLIPOPS!!??!!

TO and Charles did far better than I - heat got to me bad at the end.

Also the renactments went on all day with some beautiful equipment. I didn't know there were that many Kubelwagons still around. Although I never got close I believe they also had a Hetzer or a least some type of Sturmgeshchutz. Will check my books and see what it really was.
