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.

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

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.

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.
