RE: Jets Over Kentucky 2013
Thanks guys for the great pictures and video. Haven't been on RCU since the event, but have been very busy catching up on everything at church and home. The event has become everything that I hoped it would be, and we're striving to make it even better for 2014. The dates for next year are July 6th-13th. Flying can begin on set up day July 3rd, and that will give some pilots 11 days of flying. Still a little tired, and will have more to say about everything in a few days. Thanks to everyone for making it "The World's Grandest Jet Event".

RE: Jets Over Kentucky 2013
Thanks Shaun, not really though, just great advice from the resident experts on here and a few seasons of ongoing experimentation. Too bad it doesn't scratch the itch to fly, in fact, just makes it worse! Can't tell you how many times I've nearly sold all my photo gear to buy a new jet!
Tony Q, UncleJoe, John C, David S & Lozza taught me what little I know
Glad everyone is enjoying them though! I'm uploading the hi res to my photobucket and I'll post a link here for everyone. Also, someone is going to help me edit my onboard Contour Roam video from the Angry Bird and Flash - you'll all like that! The airport looks great from the air with the new surfacing and paint!

RE: Jets Over Kentucky 2013
Roger's A-10 crashed because the right engine never started thereby only giving thrust on the left side.
He started the left engine then the right engine which he thought was running when he taxied out.
When he tried to takeoff, the plane was trying to go right, he corrected and lifted off. The plane went right, Roger still not realizing the right engine wasn't running, it went over the tent and hit near the windsock.
I discovered what happened when I removed the left engine from the nacelle and it was hot, when I removed the right engine, it was cold.
I have no idea why the right engine did not start.
BRG,
Jon

RE: Jets Over Kentucky 2013
Im not a fan of pilots in my jets for some reason, I bought some for my current projects but will only use them for static displays.

Is it just me, or does anyone else hate seeing these jets fly without a pot inside the cockpit?

I think this dropbox link will work better than the photobucket for just grabbing files:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yha4yudxe4cbwuz/PJUNobHwTr
It is still uploading though - looks like 200 files to go as of right now
