Sam,

That's an awesome build on the Constellation. Just wonder
why he used 2-blade props instead of the 3-blade props.....

Bart,

Great post! That is an impressive B-29 model.
The flight presentation was absolutely first class.

The Bell X-1 rocket plane launch was fantastic as well.
I have to give the owner/polot a big for the
inverted flight portion of the flight. That's a gutsy call
for a plane this large and expensive. I'd like to see this
flight in person to really appreciate it.

What he said!
The best use of too much free time I've seen in a long time.
I found myself applauding when the announcer called for the crowd to give him a hand.

That F-22 pilot looks like he's about 14. On a serious note, 182K for a canopy malfunction is far better than some other malfunction that could have resulted in loss of the airplane and/or pilot. In the old days (1950s especially) crashes of new fighters were common and many streets on Edwards AFB are named after dead test pilots.
