• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Still in the paint shop, but close to being ready. I have to be on the parking apron at YMEN (Essendon) Monday morning, so I have to finish this up. Milton's Spartan Executive sporting GAAR 2010 colors and ready to take on the Australian Terrain.
 
It's a yearly "get-together" actually. Bluegrass Airlines hosts it. They setup a timing flight, to get a baseline time for each pilot and his airplane. Only 1930's to 1950's aircraft are allowed (no jets or turboprops). We fly 10 different legs and each leg has a "target time" based on our initial test flight. Winners are figured on how closely you stuck to your target times. Weather is different for each flight, no GPS, only dead reckoning, NDB/ADF. The flights aren't extremely long, so if you do any pre-planning at all and even know the general direction of flight you can probably find your airport just based on your average speed, distance to the airport and winds, lol.

It's always just a lot of fun and I get to fly in a part of the world I don't normally fly in.
 
A few more shots:

I had two more here, but attaching images isn't working for me, not here or bringing them in from photobucket.
