Default WARTHOGIN' AT THE WILLOW

Well guys, looks like Saturday is the DAY! Spoke to McBride, he is finishing up his A-10 to flyable state and will be ready to join me in maidening our WartHogs at the Willow!

Hopefully we'll be able to get both up together for a CA first, TWO HOG formation! Come one, come all! It's gonna be HOT!

We may even have Billy up as well for a THREE HAWG formation! Don't miss it!

I would love to see that, but a 7 hour drive is not in the cards for this weekend, but will be in Fresno[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I was just thinking about that Dave. How cool it will be, and yes I will be there Sat with my hog-o-matic.

Ron, you know it!!! There will be three hogs in Fresno and fly'n. A first that I know of. Should make for some awesome shots.

I have always preached about how great this plane flys and how much fun it is. I think I may just shed a tear when I see the ear to ear smile on you and Joe's face. Good times are a comin'

Looks like I may have to alter my original plans for this weekend. It would be a shame if the world were not to see some quality footage of the first ever triple hogfest.
I'll check for confirmation here during the week.

I'm in for sure and looks like Daves is done and ready to go. Joe still has a little work, but at the rate that guy has been building he should be done by tonight. The weekend is along way away. Joe will get her done[sm=angel_smile.gif]

Paul,

It'd be AWESOME if you can make it! My Hawg is ready to fly and Joe's is almost there. Besides, remember, you have a standing reservation at Chez Searles.

Hi Joe.

It's been done in Germany. Check this video http://video.google.de/videoplay?doc...99979575021500 Very poor quality though.

Good luck with your HOG's, guys. Don't forget to post pictures here.

Not sure yet. I intend to be there at least for Sat and staying overnight, but whether I come back out to the field on Sunday again has yet to be determined.

At least this Sat is forecast to be the coolest day all week - only 98 degrees, so hopefully we won't melt too badly out there.
