I could have flown down on our c-123, thunder pig, as a part of the air show but had to pass on the trip due to work... Make sure to tour our plane, we do request a 2$ donation per adult (kids free). Make sure to donate well to all the private planes. Without the donations, we wouldn't be able to keep the planes flying...

Look for this: (http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd320/flightsimer/Air%20Heritage/DSC04536.jpg)

It's really a tough year for air shows due to fuel prices especially for us radial fliers. It costs us about $1200 an hour just in fuel alone. Last year we flew to 11 airshows with the pig and all but 2 were local. This year we only have 5 scheduled with only 2 being local. Most air shows can't afford to bring a lot of planes or big planes in.

She is 58 years young. We did a lot of cosmetic stuff this year while she was in for annual and a little that has yet to be finished as we ran out of time before Andrews. Every year she comes out of the hangar looking a little better than the previous.

Ya they are definitely a great group of people. The stories they tell...I can just sit there and listen to them for hours and never get bored. Its never a dull moment with them.

They arrived safely home last night.
