I see in the cover picture a lot of planes have their canopys off in the pits. Is it really that hot there?

It's hot but not that hot. I believe this picture was taken earlier in the morning when alot of people where charging, assembling, or messing with the plane in some sort of fashion, not heat issue's for as long as i was there, yesterday and today.
Thanks,

The Saturday Registration numbers held at 86, but we should have about 10 show up tomorrow as they called last week and said they would be here late.
I stand corrected on the pilot count, 1,342 cars through today. I think we had 210 yesterday, but need to confirm. Either way, we had a load of people and lots of fun!!!

I have video of the 60% 260 on takeoff. I am such a rank beginner with video that it will suck, but I do have some. If I can figure it out I will post it.

well here is the last of my photos from the event..... The pictures of Danhakl's P-47 was from some late afternoon action, the gear wouldn't go down resulting is some practice touch-n-goes! By far the best part of the event for me was Zang and Danhakl's extra 260 throwdown Saturday afternoon! 20' waterfalls on the deck and inverted rudder passes sooooo low that grass was being kicked up by the wing! This event was BadAss!
