LOL! Yip.
Quick, what's the boldface for engine, failure, fire, or overheat in flight?

Here's a couple more.
I was driving the tow vehicle in this one.
This isn't mine, but I flew it for a couple of minutes

Are you familiar with any of aerobatic pilot Duane Cole's works? He flew a T-craft in his performances.

That sounds familiar. My instructor runs the Taylorcraft association. He and his dad were test pilots for T-Craft. Unfortunately, I missed the t-craft fly-in this past year. Let me see if I can find a pic of the t-craft factory....
Here it is, the old t-craft factory:
Sadly, the factory is now used to make smucker's jelly pop tops now.

Next time you see him, ask him about the greatest airshow pilot to have ever lived!
(And my grandmothers 1st cousin)

I googled his name. He had a specially modified clipped wing t-craft with center seating, didn't he? I think i remember seeing that plane at one of the fly-ins. I might have actually sat in it once. For some reason, i thought it was for sale a couple years ago.

If you can find a copy of "Roll Around a Point" it is fantastic reading.

Do you know when that fly-in will be this year? I haven't been there in years and want to fly in this year.

I have no idea, but I can find out.
Lets see what I can dig up...
R22 over Kalaupapa peninsula on Molokai
Somewhere west of Lake Charles Louisiana
Me landing on a offshore platform somewhere of the coast of Texas
Bottom of the Grand Canyon west rim
Fun times!

Wow, those are some beautiful pictures!
Thanks
I have been blessed to fly in the places I have!
Wish I was flying this:
