RS,
Thank for posting all the pics of OSH this year. Still looking at all of your great shots.

The AS video shows a side view at about the 1:20 mark, is the reason there has been an indefinite moratorium on all chase car rides with regards to the U-2…… per my very reliable source at Beale AFB.

One rule:
DON’T POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!! You think they listened, nope. But that is ok, they just screwed everyone else from getting a chase car ride. I’m a bit bitter, can you tell??????

Here is the reason for the ban:

Hopefully this link works for all who watch. Ideally, if you sit in a chair that rotates, you can watch this video of a flight and get a 360 degree view by rotating around. Look up and down to with your phone or iPad. Whatever direction you turn your looking around. It was shot with a 360 camera.

If it doesn’t work through the forum, open it directly In the YouTube app on a phone or iPad/tablet. Hopefully it work and you can enjoy the full view. As the plane approached the runway at Catalina, pan forward and you can watch the other planes land on the runway as he flys next to them for the shot.

Supposedly you can rent them:

There is a turbo version of the jet suit as well:

A very rare biplane flew into Placerville today to pick up some control surface repairs for yet another rare bird.

This plane is the only one in the world and an interesting fun fact, it was used to transport two horses out of a snow bound property back in the day when it was used as a real working plane in Alaska. The horses were sedated to calm their nerves and the top panel was removed just behind the wing for their head to stick out. I was told that the plane can fly so slow, speed wasn’t an issue with getting them out of the property rather than putting them down due to lack of food. I did not see this personally but it does make an interesting story.
