It's a chilly early morning at the hanger...
...and pilots from all over the US are here receiving a briefing for the National Aerobatic Competition!
This plane is competing in the highest class, Unlimited.
Going through the moves on the ground -- they must memorize their flight pattern.
Neat (expensive!!!!) airplanes are everywhere!
Competitors polish and prepare their planes...
Tom & Andrew look over Tom's.
A relic from former days ;)
Competitors in the Unlimited class pull about 12 G's on some of the maneuvers -- and they don't wear G-suits!
A way to get around the vast spaces of an airport!
Pushing Tom's plane out.
Mr. B and Mark & Mike drove up from SA -- it was fun to see them!
And some local friends came to watch :)
Stands out, doesn't it? ;) Our old mud-truck -- many a mucky road it has conquered!
Gorgeous
I think I like the look of these small planes better than the big ones - there seems to be such room for creativity!
