The 2007 Hoosier Dawn Patrol is history, and what a great event. 30+ pilots, 60+ planes. Great weather (mostly), great flying, and great times! Probably flew my Bristol M1c more in three days than I have in nearly 3 years, and even re-flew the repaired SSWD1 for the first time in a year. THe AMA National Flying Site in Muncie, IN is a perfect venue!

Here are a few of my pics from the event.


Probably my favorite shot. 1/3 scale BUSA Nieuport 17 flown by Billy Thompson.


Dale Locander's 1/3 scale BUSA Fokker DVII


Joe Hanson's 1/3 scale Albatros DIII from Dave Johnson plans.


Good looking 1/4 scale Bristol Scout belonging to Paul ?


Billy Thompson's 1/3 scale Pup (BUSA)


David (Propnut) Gibson's Fokker E-III on floats (flew great off the grass/dirt).

More later....

I'm not a big WW1 fan but those are some great shots, thanks for sharing. The #4 pic of the Sopwith really stands out!

Thank you very much for the compliment, but no, I'm not a professional photographer. I have been a shutter bug for about 30 years though, and have worked in the photo lab business for nearly as long. Good equipment helps to. I used my up-coming England trip as an excuse to get a good digital SLR and really nice telophoto lens earlier this year.

Just make sure those solder joints are good Happy! She was a good looking plane, and went before her time. But then don't most of them.




It was good to see you again! Did it feel good to be to get rid of the shoes once you crossed the Arkansas border?

Wow Prop Nut, I wish I saw your Eindecker fly with the floats. I thought it was there just for show!

Thanks Mike. Sorry, my social graces aren't that great.[sm=red_smile.gif] My son and I were only there for a couple of hours, including a visit to the museum. But I plan on being at the Dayton Dawn Patrol the bulk of the day Saturday. I'll look for you. (I'm assuming your going.)

Mike,

I left About 10:30 Sunday morning, what happened to Joe's pup?

BTW, this is 'Paul' Bateman

Prop Nut

My Feedback: (3)

Hey Paul! I liked the Bristol...well the static portion Will you have it back to Dayton?

Tripp2loo

My Feedback: (15)

I am pretty sure that I will not be able to make that. My wife works weekends while I watch the kids, so the HDP was a real treat for me as she took the weekend off so I could go.

It will probably take me a whole year with the amount of time I have to fix up the little SE5a and the Bristol. I am taking it you only saw the unsuccessful flight of the Bristol, not the successful one about 5 hours later ?

Tripp:

Landing wire broke and the lower wing panel separated at the fuse. Wing came floating down and rest of plane elsewhere. I think it will be fixed. Working with Billy on parts.
