I must add this was a very difficult shoot, I had a screaming 5 year old next to me very high pitched voice and french I think he spoke so fast I could not tell, not only did he talk but he never stopped moving. Oh well I guess I am just lucky LOL
Other than that it was a great day I got to see the zero fly for the first time, the motorcycle ride in and back about 80 miles was pleasant and good fun, the weather was good so all in all a good day.

Ed:thumbsup:

Well done Ed.
I suppose that sometimes we need to be thankful for small mercies. At least the 5 yr old doesnt live with you.

Oh JK
Thank all the powers that be!!!! I don't think he would still be alive without some form of gag and a straight jacket in his size.

I will have an adult beverage and forgetaboutit :lol:

Cool, Ed

First time I've seen a P40 and a Zero side by side except in the old war movies :-)

Oppps I forgot to mention the P40 is painted in the colors of Frank Neal the AVG's top ace, he came to live in Washington after the war, to honor him the repainted the P40, I think that is very cool.
