Warbirds over Monroe, NC Nov 8-9th

[SCSG-G4]

Very nice WWII era camp set up with vehicles as well.

I know the people with the MV/WWII setup, they will be back next year with a lot more! The COBRA rides were expensive ($500), but well worth it!

Shows you how much I know about helicopters! Planes in general. After reviewing the pictures my wife took, I realized that she didn't take any of the P51s. Of course, she knows less about them than I do, so I can't blame her since I didn't tell her what to take.

Blame her anyway-

Who Dat

Looks like an Electra (but not; squared-off fuselage):

- Any idea what it is?

That plane was modified with a glass nose for bombardier training. Its complete with a Norden bomb sight.

Here's a few pics I took that turned out pretty good, the sun angle wasn't really great for lighting up the birds. The other side of the runway would have been ideal.

Its great to see Jim Tobul's corsair back in the air. He had a landing accident in may. I got to meet the crew at Sun-N-Fun in April. Talked about when his father Joe flying it for many years.

F4U Training Film

A bit long (and I haven't even checked it all out myself yet, watched up to the 4-5 minute mark):

- But all good, and worthwhile
