YellowDog 0 #11 December 29, 2003 The cold has been about 0-20 degrees at altitude, with a ground high of probably around 50 to 60. The gusts yesterday were 15 to 20, but today very low. I think tomorrow will be brisk but perfect. Have a safe trip to Eloy. Hope to meet up with you. Look for the guy in yellow. ---> One Half of Almost Nearly Normal <--- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 221 #13 December 29, 2003 Saturday they put up 92 loads i think that included te DC-3. Then they did a flyby with 6 of the planes - Makes for good video. I will be working on capturing some stills from the vid I did. It should be done sometime tonight, I'll post some.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
