Aviation Day @ VRB

[chunk75]

Anyone going?

 

[Pilotwannabe1123]

I wish, that would be awesome.

 

[Chief Captain]

Sounds interesting. When?

 

[bLizZuE]

I have a lesson with a student. I'll be in a Seneca, 9216E.

That'll be the real show

Is it this weekend?

 

[bLizZuE]

Today.

(and my student cancelled. super.)

 

[amjon]

Okay, I doubt I'll be able to make it out today unless we fly. But I'm not supposed to fly until after 3. We'll see if we end up leaving early.

I was there last year giving rides in the T6.

I was there last year giving rides in the T6.

Are we talking the "Texan II"?

 

[towhook]

Are we talking the "Texan II"?

No, the original. Actually it was a 1945 model SNJ-6 but everyone seems to understand better if I just say "T-6". Harry, a flight safety student at VRB, posted the video of his flight with me that day on youtube. Fond memories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USiSJh0EWks
I did 17 or 18 of those that day.

Very cool! Brought back some memories of living in the pattern around there

 

[bLizZuE]

At least it wasn't grumpy or go around to deal with.

 

[Crockrocket94]

Is Bruce still around?

 

[bLizZuE]

Officially retired. End of last summer I think.

We have a lot of trainees now, which is a good mix for the 100 ish Chinese students we have now...
