Hey Lucky,

Thanks for the awesome collection of photos - what a show!! Perhaps some day I'll make it there. In person it must be wild!

Thanks Vern!

Here's a few more, and that's about it for covering the planes I shot. May post a few more. There were something like 50+ planes in attendance (13 1/3 scale I think), and I don't try to get them all. That would be too much like work. I do spend some time flying (flew very little this year), schmoozing and just sitting and watching.

Thanks for the great pics!
It was terribly hot and humid so I ran to the shade and sat when I wasn't flying, but I flew a lot. That's the most flying I've ever done in one weekend! There were always planes in the air, and the mass flight of the 1/3s was a highlight of the weekend.

Thanks for all your kind words fellas! I did more picture taking than flying this year. I'll have a few more posted later.

Cheers!

Hi Mike:

I know your fund of the Luck Dog name but I think you earned a new one like Spy Fly or haw about Shutter Dog, just as soon as you mount your camera on board now I what to see that...

Great shots as always...You bring the planes up close and you forget that there just models...

Lloyd...

How's this for a close call. Telephoto lens does compress it some. Sorry for the blurriness, normally wouldn't post one this bad.
