A Great Day Flying

Last weekend my buddy had a fly in at Prop Wash airport, North West of DFW. There were a lot of WW-ll aircraft, Some how he even got the CAF (B-29) Fifi to make 3 low passes over his airstrip. I flew an L-5 and a Pt-26 that belong to my Doctor on some photo missions. Being lead aircraft I was not able to take any pictures as my hands were full. Here are some great pics I was given. On the low pass picture you can see all the aircraft in front of his hanger.

Low-budget warbird fun. Looks like a great day! Gotta love flying with the windows open.

Beautiful photos. As a former military pilot, I'd rather fly one of the planes in your photo than my former F/A-18s. Those in your photos are "real" airplanes.

One of the B17's was giving rides out of a nearby airport last weekend. Flew over the house multiple times on approach. Great to see it.

is that an AT-6? Gorgeous plane. It is amazing that these 70 year old planes can still fly.
