Just looked through last years roster...had 57 pilots, not 50!!! There were close to 140 planes there, WWI, WWII and some modern turbine warbirds too.

Some more pics...

Ha Ha that's a good one Rex. I had to send the Moki in for service to Germany or else i would have come down with the P-47. My jet's are put away for the winter, i have to do some annuals on all three of them.

Jeff, Monroe must be sideways today!!! Oh that's right...you guys are always sideways!!! I bet you screwed down those planes so they wouldn't fall off or slide down the floor.

Mike, you will be missed bro. Just ordered 70 Ribeye Steaks!!!!

Dino Jr is fine...well, kicking and ornery as ever. We figured the name of the event was long enough already...so we didn't ad the Sr., LOL!
