The plan was for me to head out after returning from Toledo show today (red-eye into LAX) but unfortunately after eating some sea food two days ago, it did not jive with my system. I could not make it to Toledo show today either because I could not keep anything in my stomach since the past day and half. I’m completely dehydrated and my doc advised some bed rest.
Wish you guys happy landings and hope to see great pics here.
Best Regards
Ben

This showstopper was a 1/5 scale F-16 built by Mark Taylor of Fresno. Done in Fresno ANG scheme. Awesome.

What an incredible event! Big thanks to Kenny, Dave, Jill, Doug, Paul, Kenny and the rest of the crew. They put in a ton of work and it paid off with a smoothly run event!
Can't wait to see more pics and relive all the stories.

Oh man!!!! those photos came out great. I got a BIG eye roll from the wife when she saw the hog pics.
What an incredible weekend. You could not have had better weather. Perfect for flying and adding a little color to the chrome dome. Dave and Kenny really handled the event well.
Man what a sight it was to watch Darcy do those slow rolls down the length of the runway. That boy sure can fly!
I miss you guys already. We'll have to get a willow trip planned in the weeks to come for sure.
Keep the photos coming.
