I have my "Fear this" :yickes: H.O.R. ( hades On Rails) Ready.

I crashed { Fritzed} :wub: Superman Sunday. So He has been repaired and ready for Back-up Duty.

Last I heard lloyderc's combat plane was being used for "field goal" practice. :wacko:

I may be letting the cat out of the bag, but the "Farmer/Reed" combat team has a modified ride out of the pit garage with a new motor. If it passes the restrictor plate rule it will be a bad A$$ machine. That's right, forgot, we have no such rules. :banana:

:P :dance: :banana: :boxers:

I wonder if a streamer will stay on the 172 from Atlanta back to the field. :D

Don't keep me in suspense... <_<

What is a "172", Mike? :o

I would like to think he is talking about a Cessna 172 , Mr. Flying Dutchman. :D

Thank you Justin. :thumbup:

Thanks! Not all of us are aircraft experts.

Isn't it great to speak clearly so everyone understands? :D

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: my new plane for combat aint in yet ,and im of work :banghead: :banghead: :spin:

:sturthepot: I'll bring some Veg. Beef soup with Cornbread for COMBAT.

:bigplane: See ya there!!!

Sounds good.

Not one mid air today but there were some close calls.

:thumbup: GREAT pictures.

Andrew Smith won the April Combat Event. :boxers:

Mike did not make it, hope nothing happened to the 172.

The Farmer/Reed combat team is probably dissolved.

The 172 made it back just fine. We were too ready to be home by the time we got back into southern Alabama so we just headed straight for Ocean Springs. I need to start flying something faster. B)

What happened to the team? I thought there were no crashes?

Yeah, about "that team"...
Well, my sources tell me that one half of that team did not appear to have his heart in the event yesterday, stumbling around, ripping the the streamer off a couple of times by stepping on it, poking the running prop into the ground, and otherwise sabotaging the "team" effort...
(I would post a picture, but ImageShack is not cooperating...)

I heard that he was to busy groping the females at the field.... :o

:angry: :banghead: :yes: :yes:

:wub: Females????? I thought that was your wife.

As in plural...

If that happens again, call me. I will stand in as the designated groper so Alvin can focus on the combat. :D Anything to help out.

Here's "The Team"...
Well, it's dissolved now, I take it...

TJ flew his newest combat wing:


I flew Lee's P-51 Mustang and dinged it up during landing... :angry:


There were several large Mustangs at the field.
Lots of ground crew action at the North End... Not much flying, though.
Al actually DID fly his. The off-color one... :D


Jon got Henry's P-47 Thunderbolt in the air, and scared Al into landing his Mustang early by inching a bit too close for Al's comfort... :yickes:


Russell got his F-22 Raptor trainer airborne! Well, Rob did.


And then Russell flew it too: :thumbup:


Paladine28 did about a dozen takeoffs this Sunday. He did great! :thumbup:
Landings are next...


There was some night-flying going on after dark. It was exciting and very eventful! Lots of action! Best not to talk about it in detail here... :embarrassed:

:o the only thing alvin was into was the icecream :sturthepot:

Define "dinged up." :o

A gust of... ummm... breeze... made the Mustang rise at the last moment, causing it to stall and fall.

Cracked both gear blocks.
:embarrassed:

WIND?!?! WHAT WIND?!??!? ;)

Frits are you saying the wind did it????? Hmm now what do you always say about the wind???

I NEVER said there was WIND!... There is NO WIND at the South End! :no:

There was a "slight breeze", however, and that did me in... :yes: :rolleyes:

It must have been from all of that 'hot air' coming from the south end ;)

The only hot air that ever blows at the South End is when Alvin comes around after eating his indescribable concoctions... :yes: :rolleyes:


:lol:

That was a nice landing it was just 3 feet too high :paci:

Thanks for the compliment, Crash Kit... <_<
