SoCal Photo Flood!
Yes, it was a great weekend of Jet flying! Good times at the BARKS field and a HUGE thank you to all of the gracious members there.
I'll try to caption the photos with the info I have (or I'll make it up to entertain myself!).
Enjoy

Between the size of the Stingray and the way Matt flies it, you'd swear it was doing 300mph!
Raf really enjoyed and put on a great show with his Titan Powered Century Jets F4. The scheme really looks sharp! Does this guy have a thing for F-4's or what?!

Between Friday and Saturday, I got the first flight on my new Flash and 14 more! The verdict...it is awesome! Thanks to Darcy and Hal for all the setup tips. The plane flies absolutely "off the hook" (that's good!). This one is Titan SE powered and flies on the DX7 with an AR9000 RX and 8411's all around--except for the 8711 on steering (yes Raf got a kick out of that one!).
So After a while Hal figured he'd join me to "form up" with his Merlin Powered Flash in the Jolly Rodgers scheme:
Of course he had to add smoke to the show:
Then Mark joined the fray with his Titan SE powered Flash...yeah and he smoked too!
Here's a little shot of the entire (oh not really...
) squadron:

Billy and Scott (GSR) spun a few laps with thier Boomer (P60) and BVM F-86 (electro fan) hotrods:
While Ray pulled the Tamjets prototype Cougar out of Tam's rafters for a few laps with a P120. Ray is not afraid to put the Cougar through some heavy G-loads during flight or on his way to the field (wish I got a pic of the cougar and the hornet straped to the top of his Honda Element!).

Saturday dawned with more clear skies and relatively mild temps and Strawboss came to lend his support, flying skilz and photo skilz to the group (even if he left his Hornet at home?![:-]):
Joey C spotted for Duky as he put the maiden on his very own flash:
Jimmy was all smiles with his P60 powered Tamjets A-4. I never did shoot any flying photos of this one because we were too busy passing the box around. There are a bunch of photos in the florida Jet's thread of this little gem flying. It is really scale and fun looking with the P60.
After Gordon's beautiful take-off with the Hunter, Presta wrestled the box from him to spin a few laps and stick the landing. Yes, he gladly sucked up all the glory for an immaculate flight:

BTW Duky has a P120 in his Flash and Gordon has a P120 in his Hunter.
It was a real treat to see Joey roll out his newly finished Tucano. Presta told him that the paint stirrers on the front were neccessary because it was a turboprop and away it went with an eerily quiet spoolup.

RE: SoCal Photo Flood!
Awesome pics Joe. Gordon your Hunter is beautiful, you really did an outstanding build on that. I can't wait to join the flash club. I think I'm going "General Lee" you know what I'm talk'n bout Raf. See'n the Flash Four turn and burn with smoke was awesome. Joey your Tucano was soooo impressive. You have a real winner there. I like the clown'n out of Mark and Hal, Good times rot dare.
Did anyone get any pics of the "Moons Over the Willow" when the L39 came by. That was classic.

The A-10 is just fantastic

The fact that Billy flies it every chance he gets, and seems more comfortable with it than most people would be with an ugly-stick, just adds to the experience.
