Paul Pennington sets his Astro Hog Bipe in for another
perfect landing. Marty Bertels smokes by with his Balsa USA
Enforcer, then slows it way down to land.

A couple of very nice P-51's that were flying often

A Ziroli PT-17 done up in yellow which looked fabulous in
the air.

Rick Poire settles his PT-19 in for a landing on one flight,
then does a nice inverted pass with his Chipmunk on another
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rick Poire's Chipmunk is one of the best looking airplanes.
His big Extra looks very nice too as it lines up on final.

Rick's Extra about to touch down.
There was a helicopter area as well. The B-17's were
lining up in the pits

The "Larry Wells Show" begins as three of his
B-17's are flown together
|
|
|
|
|
|
So realistic looking and with four engines synchronized, it
sounded great too!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two of the B-17's turn over the runway together and then I
captured this low pass over the runway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The B-17's start to set up for a landing. Their was some
concern about the gear being down all the way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite the fears, the landings were perfect, then taxiing
back is always a sweet feeling.

John Light has been flying this big Ultimate for a long
time. I will always remember seeing it for the first time at
one of our Extravaganza events, I believe it was 1995. The
plane and his flying has steadily improved since. It was a
beautiful airplane.

A few more photos of John Light's big Ultimate as he fills
the air with smoke.

Both pilots reacted with professionalism after the
tragic moment happened. Many pitched in to pick up the
pieces.

|
A scene I wish could have been avoided. Parts and pieces of
two huge Ultimate biplanes are carried back to the pit area.
