Very nice pics, Kelly. That was obviously a huge event with some awesome and unusual warbirds!

While we're on the subject of "big event" exposure, here's a scan of page 35 from the August 2008 issue of "RC Sport Flyer" magazine (formerly "3D Flyer Magazine"). Once the image pops up in a new window, click on it for full viewing resolution.

They have several pages of pics from Joe Nall and I think there may be a couple of folks we know here......

The autograph session will commence at the next fly-in!

Nice pics, this thing looks awesome. I remember watching a full scale connie taking off from Republic (Long Island) dressed up in this same scheme.
