    Over all I gave Security a good grade. Polite but forceful.    I would say on the ready.

                                        The dog did a good job on my M151A1 and he didn't pee on the tire.
    The mutt before setup, I left the OL to reconnoiter the flight line.
Being an "exhibitor" gives you a nice chance to tour the flight line prior to the gate opening at 0800 and admitting the masses heading in for the hot dog stands.
This training glider may hold the record for being the oldest W.W.II aircraft that is still flyable. It was just donated to the Dover Air Force Base Museum.             Museum Link at the end.


      Just like a ham fest, a lot of food consumed in a short period of time. I never really tried the MEGA burger but witnessed it being consumed in record time by several people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't ask me why the Fed- X plane was here. Maybe they were just dropping off a package and got confused.

 

 

   

 

    Nice paint job on this observation aircraft.



Nice Nose Art.

   

       I noted some original interphone panels on this bird dog. Note the small J-10 ARC jack box. None of the older observation aircraft had any of the original radio equipment installed even for show. You can always stuff in a solid state radio somewhere.
