Airshow I attended this past weekend...

Post by p51 »

Had a good (but tiring) weekend. Had some high winds all weekend long and some drama with the crew of an airplane this weekend I won't go into here, but all in all, a good event.
My Jeep, old camera and other things at the show:

Think landing an orbiter is tough? Try a B-29 into what looked like a substantial crosswind (the wind was blowing caps off people's heads on the ground):

Looks like someone might have earned a Tirebiter award there. Great photos, p51!

Yeah, the B29 had some... issues.
The crew was not happy that any word of that ever got out online.
Drama ensued. LOTS of drama. Junior High School type drama.
It sort of put a pall on the weekend for me.
