Love the shockwave! If I had 9k I'd have one of those bad boys but that's just a little out of my reach lol.

We were impressed with the F4 Phantom. He flew it great!
the compy J10 was fun to watch. Impressive flight envelope.
There were a few nice jets there for sale. The t38 had a rabbit in it for $3500 if I remember right. There was a nice Blue Angel F18 for $6500. A balsa bandit for $5600, l39 with kingtech 140 for $5500, hot spot p80 for $4k.

Saturday had perfect weather and a great crowd. Lots do good flying.

Great show Frank, had a great time.

Hey Pablo, I don't think there was ever more than a 5 minutes period without a shockwave in the air, pretty serious flying.

Andy thank for the pictures!

Here are a few pics from David Hart. He is great at getting the perfect shot. I got rear ended when I was taking off on the first day The F16 was fine but the T38 was a total loss. Somehow the flight line guys told him clear for landing and told me clear to taxi out. Bob ran out of battery in the T38 and landed quick and didn't see me on the runway. Barry and I flew the F16 the rest of the weekend and only suffered a scratch on the rudder.



Also a shot of my AB lights

For this reason, I stayed high in the air and conservative. Some guys IMHO, where too aggressive in their flights. I would say those issues were also the responsibility of the spotter for the pilot, and not telling them to go around. They could afford the $10K loss, but I couldn't. At one time, the flight line crew had 3 guys landing at the same time, and not Team Members, who are used to flying in close proximity of each other.

Dan I agree the flight line was messed up on Wednesday big time. Thursday after the rain we ran the flight line our selves and it was much better. But on Friday and Saturday the flight line crew did a great job and the only problems that I saw was from pilots not following directions about not back taxing. The guys out their really worked their butts off and my hat goes off to them. Thanks

Frank said he wants to add a taxiway off the runway along with other improvements he just needs to take it one step at a time.

Mid air with the red and white Viper.

My 22mp pics are too big to upload here, but the Viper had the wing cracked but made it back down, in my FB album they its the next shot after the crash impact.

I enhanced the picture of the T-38 as much as possible. From what I can see on the yellow paper that was taped to the jet, is that it does have a Rabbit Turbine, as you mentioned. The only other thing I can make out is the name "Ralph"

If someone knows this jet, or the guy selling it, please put me in touch with him. I want that jet.

Fiorenze T-38 being sold by Ralph Esposito. I believe he's Miami-based.954 646-0493.

Thank you. I thought it was a Fiorenze model. I don't know of too many other manufacturers that make that jet. Especially in that paint scheme.
