Trailer packing for Indiana warbird campaign.
Initially, I thought of bringing only 3 planes but, with a little creative thinking, I packed 5 planes in the 14' trailer:
110" F4U
110" P-47
Ziroli SBD
Ziroli F6F
Ziroli F9F.
Double checked, all wings are there.
I should have no trouble filling the 20'X20' tent(with side walls) that I rented.

Jim,
Always fun to meet new pilots.
===========
I new it was something old and radial and multi engine!
A B-29 just flew over my house in West Chester (heading south), north of Cincinnati along route I-75.
Initially, I thought it might be the local B-25.
Guessing about 2,000' high.
cool.

Yo Larry,
Always great meeting pilots that I haven't seen before.
Your P-47's finish was really nice and I loved the Z P-38. If I remember correctly, you had two 20X10 3-blade props on the G-62's?
I'm finishing up repair on my yellow P-38. I've got some 21.5X11 N 3-blade props on my Z P-61 and would like some props a bit smaller as the tips are close to the ground.
I have a meet in Lexington that weekend where they expect me to be there as there are a lot of old fellow pilots that I know.

Indiana warbird and classics campaign at AMA headquarters in Muncie, Indiana.
Miles: 100
About a 1000' a short grass to fly off of. There were about 85 pilots with lots of planes.
AMA has a lot of 20X20' tents available so a lot of pilots reserve them.
Kirk's P-47 and P-40.
