I answer and can barely hear him..........

Its Ted..Our own txnetcop.....

He called to say he was at an airshow in Texas, and just flew in an old DC-3

Then said that he had a few more rides to do and would call back to gloat some more...LOL


I'm sure there are going to be pics to follow...

THE BUM.........:bump:
 
I had to note that he said "rides", as in more than one......:icon_lol:

What a way to spend the day ! Good for him ! :ernae:
 
i was jealous at dc-3...
the idea of several more rides in other planes is too much to take.
...i'm going off to my closet to sulk in the dark! :running:
 
Kinda busy looking after the parents this year. Next year though watch out... I am going to get that ride in that Collins Foundation P-51... then watch out... boy howdy will I gloat! :icon_lol:
 
I'm sure he wanted to do the perfectely insane thing......strap on a chute and....Stand up....Hook up.....Sound off for equipment check......then stand in the door.....AIRBORNE!!
 
It's funny how your mind goes back to those days Mud, because we still were jumping out of some old DC-3s at Fort Benning before the C-130s got there. The smells, the engine vibration, the wind buffeting just really brought back a flood of memories-made Donna sick though, but like a trooper she held it in!

Donna forgot our camera and I immediately asked for a divorce. Fortunately, I had the camera phone so I got in about 6 shots of the planes we rode today before the battery croaked. The DC-3(20 passengers), T-33-fully restored, Convair 340 fully restored, T-28 trojans in which I just showed a pick of my pilot's head while he was in pursuit of another T-28(yes, I got to handle controls for a few minutes)...by the way all the T-28 pilots were crazy Vietnam era Jarheads...it was awesome!

The Mid-Way Regional Airport in Midlothian, TX was asking for donations instead of charging a small fortune to ride their aircraft in honor of D-DAY! We ain't rich and had a great time on less than $200. Sorry about the pics guys you can PM txnetwife and chastise her!
 
Like I said earlier.... Ya Dog.....:wavey: LOL


WOW..Thanks for the pics(slaps txnetwife on the head)....:kilroy:


I'm real glad you guys had a good day....It looks like you just had a grand time..... Good for you..

I just love the rumble and smell of those old radials when they fire up...
