Default Flying at Orange County Choppers

Just wanted to share some pics from the weekend.
Joe Lewis and Jim Hiller went to OCC and put the boys from the shop on the buddy box. we had a couple of Hangar 9 F-22 Raptors we let them fly. You accan see the results of Paul Jr. flying. We also did demo flights with my F-86 and Jim's T-33.
Enjoy the pics

The F-86 is an HP Jets. I don't believe it is avalable any more.

Hey Jet Lag you missed a good time at OCC. Spent Friday afternoon with free roam of the shop, retail area, and even the gym. The guys at OCC made us welcome and let us take pictures throughout, even took the jets into the showroom for some shots with the show bikes. Really a neat experience. Saturday the skies cleared and out to the airport with about half the shop folks for some flying fun. I got five of them on the sticks of the remaining F-22 Raptor, one of them didn't last long????? Even Dennis from goGodSpeed.com showed up to get some face time with his DV8R and Eurosport, they looked kinda funky next to the jet bike, but what the heck, we all had a blast, can you believe Ron had them pull the Jet Bike out of the showroom for pictures at the airport. The OCC guys were sure appreciative.

Jim
