While you guys sat in the mist Saturday, this particular circus groupie was joined by Mark Farmer and Jeff Foley and we flew jets in the sunshine down in Georgia. We did get some rain but not until late in the afternoon while eating at the banquet.

Very nice field with excellent facility's. And equally nice people running the event.
Thanks to Joe Rafalowski and all the crew for a great time.

Only problem is that going to this event showed me just how much of a jet rookie I really am!


Here are a few pics.

Not sure, if I remember u could upgrade from the Grasshopper to the Hornet by putting the bigger motor on it. But you are right, it started life as one or the other. If any of the video comes out there should be some amazing footage as this thing was running up and down the runway all day getting shots of takeoffs and landings. It was was amazing to me the darn thing never got run over.

Who's F-15C is that in the "Tiger Meet" colors? That's a nice A-10 too. I'm pretty sure I've worked on the real one in Bagram...
