I can't believe we will have an aircraft this cool at the event this weekend, so I'm wondering if I don't have it remembered wrong, but I could have sworn that they said the Heritage Flight from the military will be with a P-38 instead of a P-51. According to Lion Rick, there are only FOUR P-38's flying today. How unreal.
The P-38
Now, isn't that a cool-looking aircraft!?
Now, isn't that a cool-looking aircraft!?Imagine it in flight, earning its nickname as "the fork-tailed devil!"
We had our last Aviation Festival meeting prior to the event this weekend, and I'm so encouraged by everyone's high spirits and togetherness on this event. I couldn't be more proud and happy to be a Lion!
I just booked a flight for six on the C-47 for myself and family! :-) I'm really looking forward to being up in the skies again and for the thrill and the rush! I was told today I didn't make the list of "dignitares" who are taking the Blackhawk Helicopter flight this weekend. Bummer! lol. Here's a tip for anyone in the Wellington area Friday afternoon - The F-15 Strike Eagle will be "practicing" its performance over the Wellington airport around 2:30 p.m. It's an opportunity to shake the windows of every home in town and remind them there's an air show this weekend! It's also a good time for a free sneak peak - and really, can you see the F-15 too often? I didn't think so!
