    There will be a P-51 fly in at the Nut Tree Airport in Vacaville Sat Oct 9th. Going to be 10 51s, a P-40 or two, Wildcat and various other warbird types on the ramp. I will have F car parking in my hanger if any of you plan to attend.

    Sounds like fun! I didn't get a chance to look you up at Reno, but I'll plan on heading to Nut Tree for this with my girlfriend in my F355.

    We arrived late but it was a real treat meeting Sparky P-51. He didn't have has Testarossa on hand but did have Sparky, his P-51 there, along with some of his family members. It was terrific meeting all of them, swapping stories and hanging out at his hangar. VooDoo had a small mechanical (Race Planes!), taken care of by Sparky P-51's ace tech of a son. Thanks so much!!

    We arrived a bit late too, but it was a nice laid back day where I ran into a bunch of old friends, but never managed to find Sparky p-51, just lots of reports of "I just saw him over that way"! :)

    I had a great time. I told the cops at the gate Steve said to get my a** to the show so they let me right through. They said there was even VIP Parking. I gotta picture to prove it!
    Steve treated Rifledriver, Leslie & me to a sumptuous lunch, AFTER he arranged a short hop in the Jelly Belly Stearman for Leslie & I. That was AWESOME! Thank you Steve!
