Great shots jjreds! Love the Arcus taking off with the thunder head in the background. Great to see other ships. I think I was there for the Blanik day :-)

I GPS'd a couple of lines to walk....Gunny I walked the woods across the road last night, no luck. Matt I talked to the neighbors told the farmer that is chopping the corn to keep an eye out. Gary flew over didn't see it. Sorry guys. I haven't given up.

Looks like a Blanik convention. Must have been the "Plane du jour". Glad the other photogs got the other ships on the other days.

Steve and crew, thanks again for a great day.

Enjoy,
Jeff

Once again Jeff, fabulous shots. Even the one of the Bidule taking a bow.


Thank you for the time and effort it requires.

Great pictures as always Jeff, I especially like the very first Black & White of the head on Blanik Landing.
Nice stress test on the nose gear Len, nothing can hide from the camera

Thanks Jeremy!!!
Jeff asked if he should post that picture and I replied, HELL YES!! That shows how darn good the gear holds up.

The circumstances behind that picture were pretty interesting. The wind that day was 90 degree cross and as the planes approach through a cut ( much like the one in Huntsville ) the wind would swirl. Well, this time it swirled a bit harder and I was too slow, she dropped from about 3' prop just touched the dirt and stopped the motor. We walked over, dusted it off, checked the gear and airframe, flipped the prop and towed for another 8 hrs.
