Default RE: Something for Del Johnson

Several others had Fokkers there as well, Ron Cain and Gary Denzler to name just a couple that I didn't snag a picture of - but I did get pics of Greg "Eindekker" Emerick with his BUSA Fokker:









We had one other Fokker there, and my thanks to Joe Dirr for snagging the picture (posted earlier) of me with Del's old "Farm Fokker" - somewhat a bit worse for wear (both of us, I know!!), but that old Fokker was flying fabulously none-the-less. And it really does show up in the air with that bright yellow top wing - I can see why Del never bothered changing it to his usual "Optical Illusion" scheme (black/white diagonally striped wing). It was also the lead plane during the "Fokker Scourge", so THAT was pretty cool!! No pics from me of all that, as I was driving Del's old bird, but I did manage to snag a shot of one of Del's favorite flying activities - passing the transmitter around to friends - here Doug Cox takes a circuit around the field with the Farm Fokker:
