"V1, Vr, V2"

HEY! Why is that guy flying so low over a residential neighborhood! [:@]





Here he comes again! [X(] "Whoop Whoop, Pull UP!!"

OH Whew!!! It's just another one of those model jet shows. had me worried there for a minute, thought the FAA was going to show up!

There were lots of spectators........................(boy those tents sure are glossy........)

Jerry Keller's BEAUTIFUL F-104 (we'll come back to the story on this one in a bit!)

What is that on top of the wing next to the fuselage?

Now THOSE are landing gear!

Can anybody say TERMINATOR![>:]

What tents???

More on this bird in a bit.

Boy, those are nice tents. Nice shapes and well taken care of[:-]........[8D]

Okay everyone those tents may have been shiny with pretty colors. (I kept looking for hte cotton candy and candy apple salesman but never found one.)
However those tents all survived Friday's storm with flying colors (no pun intended)
Friday's afternoon storm was a prelude to Florida hurricane season.
A nice afternoon watching a few flights then hunger set in and off for a trip to KFC after I set up my tent.
A very heavy down pour started with strong winds. Started to drive out of KFC and saw several cars just parked in the downpour getting off the highway. Seemed like the smart thing to do, until the van started rocking and getting pelted with hail for a good 5 minutes. Sat there a good 20 minutes before driving back to the field. This is the results of what I saw upon return. My tent had blown about 100 yards until it was saved from crossing the runway by impaling itself on a wrought iron spike of the safety fence.[&o]

After the rain stopped we all started damage assessment........then the scavenging for parts began...The vultures swooped down with wrenches in hand.
We could definately tell who the builders were as the dissassembly and patching began!

Some more of the storm damage to the safety fence and short term flooding.

[X(] LOL! Mark I thought you were kidding when you said that to me on the phone! You REALLY did take a picture!

Even the port a potties were tumbled to the ground.....but no worries a little heave ho and they were up again with a little washing down from the portable water extinguisher[:-].......or was this photo after someone was smoking in the "John"???? Darn Methane!!

Sounds to me llike you guys need to rename this to the "Beat the Hurricane Season Jet Rally"!

Here is "The John" Burdin getting ready to go up with his Boomerang. He is assisted by another "John" Banner. These two flew quite a bit this weekend considering they were also running around keeping things organized with Steve.

Ok folks, if you're ever walking around at a jet meet and you see:







THIS GUY..................WATCH OUT!

Because it usually means that..............................








THIS ONE...........is on the field.

This time Dave was up to something so upon closer inspection of one "yellow" KingCat.......................








This was discovered in the cockpit!!! [X(] A video camera with real time downlink and sound!!!

No wonder these guys were........................................

You see folks, no body wants to fly when Shulman is flying.............................

Because........................................... .....
