There is a Yak-3 at PWA.  (in OKC)

I was lucky enough to sit in it once and fiddle w/ the buttons.

Same guy owns the P-51D 'Miss America'.


I'll let you sit in my Bearhawk when I am finished building it.

You just can't touch any buttons  :P    :neener:

its impressive always to see just how big the F4U really is.

Jugs and Corsairs were huge aircraft compared to the 109s and 190s, spits, 51s and 38's.

There was a TBM sitting next to the F4U, the Hog looks wimpy by comparison.
To each their pwn.

My younger brother personally know who owns that A-26.  We might bower it for a hour and take it up in the air.

In about another 3 years, perhaps  :)

Maybe sooner if any fellow AH'ers wanna come help buck rivets, or donate some hanger space  :D

What! No pics of the newly restored Seafire XV?   Ahh what a beauty.  RN version of the Spit XII.  Absolutely gorgeous restoration.

Is sean tuckers kid still narating the show for dad? Is he still putting his dad's name at least once in every single sentence he utters during the flight demonstration? I saw the show a few years ago and liked the flying, but I was desperately looking for cotton or double strength ear plugs to get away from the promotion of sean tucker's name by the time the demo was half over.  :huh

The Sean Tucker demo was incredible! I too have seen him multiple times, but he did S^*& only remote control planes can do. It was surreal watching him.


Tec, the heritage flight pics were awesome, post some of the F4 bro :aok
