I did ask Pete to pipe "Ride of the Valkyrie" when Alex did his flyover, but he didn't know the tune ...

I'll post my non-duplicate shots when I get home from work, plus the Hooters shoots.
With a possible exception - Grant, how much to not post that video from the parking lot?

It was a perfect day for visiting the Warplane Museum. Wonderful weather.

I'm delighted that the Limey had a great time.

Sorry I couldn't make it guys. I'll join you at the next outing.

Cheers

Limey, there was no Limey there Rick.

Ah yes the video from the parking lot.

Thanks for all the great pictures. Alex sure looks happy.

Special thanks for the pic of the Cessna Crane. That looks exactly like what my dad trained on at British Refresher School in Imperial, California in early 1942. And thanks for the great Hurri and Spit pics.

Unfortunatly Ron the Hurricane is a fibreglass replica. A hanger fire in 1993 destroyed the original Hurricane, TBM Avenger and a visiting Spitfire. This particular Spit is on loan from the Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa.
