On the edge.... Heritage Flight Conference

And by on the edge I really mean on the edge of insanity because of the HUGE numbers of images one could obtain during the weekend. I was able to attend only Friday and Saturday and this is a listing of what flew and in what combination (excluding solo demonstrations):

F-4 Phantom II- 74-1627 HD

P-51 Mustang- "Bum Steer"

A-10 Thunderbolt II- FT

As you can see, there were a lot of planes in a lot of combinations which equals a lot of images. Here's a very, very small sample. And a big shout out to the new friends we made over the two days, it was great hanging out with you all! Please excuse my whispry Clint Eastwood voice, I'm just now able to speak after a nasty bout with the laryngitis gremlins.
