Anyone going to go to Nellis this weekend???
I know, no racers this year...

Re: Aviation Nation, Nellis

Yes, I'll be there on Saturday, flying down tomorrow evening and staying at the Super 8 next to the base.

Looking forward to seeing Glacier Girl, and Bill Greenwood's Spitfire should be there too.

Re: Aviation Nation, Nellis

Cool... I'm at the Super8 too, as well as 40-50 other photographers.
I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Any one know who's Sea Fury will be there for the British history flight?

WARNING TO EVERYBODY: Make sure you do not do anything stupid in the parking lot of the Super8!

Took me a minute but I think what he means is that the stupid act will be well documented. No heavy drinking!

Ok... Now you've got everyone curious. There's GOT TO BE a story here somewhere.....

Acctually I'm clean on this one. I just thought with 40-50 photographers staying in the hotel, it would be a hell of a time for Brittney Spears and Nancy Pelosi to get into an all out fist-fight while the children look on.

A wild guess would say Getch's.

Seeing that it has Australian Markings on it that would kind of an insult to the RAF

Hey Bill, did Bud Granley's inflatable "co-pilot" ever get returned???

I wouldn't think he would want it back.

Not really, as the RAF never flew the Sea Fury. The Royal Navy did, though!

You'd prefer this one perhaps, Victor?

OOPS! My bad.... But there was the Fury with out the Sea part any way.

Any way I'd rather be looking at this one:

Re: Aviation Nation, Nellis

Spoke with BeachBoss, who's already down there working with GBJ... He had just been talking with Getch... so it's his Fury that will be there...

Sounds like it'll be a good show, I'll be watching from here this year...

Re: Aviation Nation, Nellis

Not enough blades. You see, one-two-three-four.......one missing.

Just like this one!



In fact, most of them around here seem to suffer from that problem.



You see, four.......



...and five.....



....four.....



...and five again!



Here endeth the lesson!

Re: Aviation Nation, Nellis

Oh would ya just look at that.... It's a FURY with a 4 (that's four) blade prop
