Hey I started out old school and can do the job without all the fancy gizmoes.

Seeing the photo's Scott posted sent me back a few years to when I was working on air shows. It didn't take long before I was digging in old photos recalling a great time in my life. This kind of aviation is what kicked it all off for me. Kicking around the hanger with the WW2 vets was always fun...flying with them was an honor I will never forget.

Thought I would post up this silly picture snapped just after landing in West Jordan, UT in a B-25 after a 2 1/2 hour flight with a P-47 tucked under my wing.
