Jun 28^th, 2016 at 8:29pm Saturday, June 25. AC almost scribed a groove in our runway with the Stbd wingtip of his Spitfire. I didn't think I got the shot; its out of focus but you will get the jist of what was going on. It was impressive.

Reply #5 - Jun 29^th, 2016 at 6:57pm Its pretty amazing to think that I shot downwards to get that picture. Even the Port wingtip is below my eye level.

As an addendumb to this thread, Mr. coolen set a new low for himself today at the war bird meet. Despite the runway being mowed to impeccable quality and standards, The Cool one wasn't satisfied.....

There is now a series of six curly cue slices in their runway, courtesy of 1 Mejlik prop, and one loose firewall

Reply #18 - Jul 4^th, 2016 at 6:14am Great set of pictures. As I suspected the firewall relieved it's self after the strike. That little bit of time allowed me to get her home. That plane is very good to me and provides me with a lot of entertainment. I'm going to have to respect her a bit more then I have been. Thanks rcdog
