Hmmm ... is that an Ohio town? We got one in Texas spelt the same way but we all call it "way-co". Well, some people used to joke and call in "wacko" after the Koresh thing. Nice pic. Definately flyin' coach.

That's a funny way to pronounce dubya.

Ahhhh .... well down here in Texas we call em "way-co"s unless they're owned by a Branch Davidian .. then we call `em "wacko"s. ;)

I am not sure about this exhibition.  I'm sure he did.  Have you ever seen a wingwalking display?  I highly suggest you pay the small (5-10 dollar) fee to visit an airshow near you this summer.  You'll have a great time.

I saw that plane at the Midland airshow last year.  Funny thing is I was thinking to myself "ya know, if that sucker had a pair of 50's mounted, it would make the ultimate anti-vultch machine". :D
