P-47 Gets "Kill" at Arlington
Had a buddy whose campsite is right on the show line at Arlington, and right next to the runup pad for runway 16. The Flying Heritage P-47 was getting ready to fly, and its tail was pointed at the fence as it was running-up. It blew a Yorkshire Terrier halfway across the road. :-) Dog is OK and is waiting for a rematch. :-) Some pix: http://www.wanttaja.com/P-47_flyby.jpg http://www.wanttaja.com/Skyraider_form.jpg http://www.wanttaja.com/figher_runup.jpg Ron Wanttaja |

When the C-5b came in, he was supposed to taxi to the end of the new ramp, turn 135 degrees and point the nose of his ship at mine. Well, there were two guys unloading boxes of t-shirts from a U-haul on the far side of the ramp, and as the C-5 began to turn... Friday mornings are fun days at an airshow!

Sorry, sent that to the wrong list. I enjoyed it, just the same! g Some time ago someone posted a picture of a C-130 landing on a carrier. I piped up, and said, that had to be a fake, because it had never happened. Turns out, I was wrong. -- Jim in NC |
