The 777 still makes me smile after all these years (hell... the 757/767s still do that for that matter). |

Nice. I'm hoping to take one of our club's warbirds up next year (a C-172 is technically a warbird if it started life as a T-41
 )
PS: Tag for more pics. |

That's my towne. I should be working out there right now. Either VIP escort or the dreaded directing traffic. I hate when EAA comes to towne or Country USA. My house is about 8 miles from the grounds there. Would rather be there right now than here anyday of the week. Even with all the tourists.

Usually in any aircraft there is "something" holding it all together. |

I flew my Quad City Challenger II Clipwing Special to Oshkosh and back in 1996. It was truly an epic adventure. The only negative was I didn't have anyone along to share the experience. Here's a photo of me and my bird about ten minutes after landing back at my home airport. About two minutes later,a monster thunderstorm hit the area with torrential rain and 50mph winds. Whew!
