Just don't do a Jack Roush! Have fun, and take photos, please.

 

I grew up just north of Milwaukee and used to drive by David Hobb's Honda dealership all the time.

Rob, looks like you flew into Timmerman Field, right?

 

Did ya get to go see my baby? PNR?

 

I did not know Greg was from White Fish Bay. I grew up in Mequon which is just about 15 minutes up the interstate.

 

WOW!!! That looks like it was an amazing trip! The Ford Trimotor is pretty cool. The lineup of the P51s must have been something in person! I got to go there one day.

 

cool pics Rob. It was fun to meet up with the Texas F-Chatters during your pub crawl!

On the next trip you really must book a seat on Aluminum Overcast. 30 minutes you will NEVER forget.

here are some pics I took in 2008:

Great video catch on the fly-by. That was great having them come right overhead.

Nurburgringer, great story and pics of the B-17 ride. Someday....

 

agreed, love the 'heritage' flights and that was one of the best I've seen!

cheers Ron - maybe you can try what I did, drop hints and leave print-outs of the flyer in strategic locations and get the flight as a gift

AWESOME! Just awesome.
I loved all of the period-painted DC-3s
Great video.

 

Not P-51's or F4U's but a very important part of our aviation heritage. In 1932 I was astonished at seeing a " huge" Boeing 247 at the old Washington Airport but several years later the DC-2 and -3 appeared and radically changed everything. When we were living at the farm in Potomac, Md. from 1931 to 1935 ( depression) I used to see the old airplanes flying over and I recall the red and cream Stinson tri motors of Central Airlines (I think), the silver Boeing Model 40's, the Curtiss Condors of American, and the Curtiss Falcons of the Army flying the mail for a while in the winter of '33-34. We were N.W. of Washington, D.C. and I imagine that the routes were to Cleveland and Pittsburgh. My interest in flying machines at that time made me a odd little kid and I was let alone to pursue my passion.My mother put up with me, however, because she was of the same ilk.
She started it, really, by taking my little sister and me to the old Washington airport ( where the Pentagon is now) to watch airplanes. Then on the way home we stopped at the Union Station to watch the steam locomotives. She was a different kind of lady in the early 1930's.
