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.
 
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.
 

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

Sounds like you guys had a blast, wish I was there!!!!

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
 
Will we see Mr C in one of those kiddy Navy uniforms from the 30's now then, with TO and Njaco in something matching and with HUGE lollipops, dancing around?
 
No lollipops Lucky!

How about some Avenger pics and the Fort taking off?

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.
