AVENGER!
Today marks the end of the TBF-1C Avenger build. The third completed model of 2009. I ran out of light for taking pictures, so this will have to do until I can upload more tomorrow.

Ranger Fly-in and Airshow
On May 23, 2009 Dave, Mark, Randy, and my father and I flew up to the Ranger Fly-in and Airshow for our first X-wing Flyout of 2009. The flight was a blast! The relatively poor weather on the way up caused us to make a quick stop in Hamilton, only to be pleasantly surprised with a few restoration projects of some antique aircraft - Travel Air 5000, American Eagle, Curtiss Junior.
The Ranger Fly-in and Airshow had an excellent set up and an equally excellent turn out. The event was really successful with a large number of aircraft arriving even though the weather threatened storms all day. The airshow was great, with performers such as Spanky Gallaway, Jason Newburg, David Martin, and the Texas Twisters formation team all flying out of the grass strip. I have put together a quick promotional music video of the Ranger Fly=in and Airshow that can be found at this link:

3 Airshows in a month...
...and still more to come. Today we attended the 2009 Central Texas Airshow in Temple, Texas. This as the third year in a row that I have attended this airshow and the fifth time overall. This year Temple went all out with some performers. They were about to get the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team as well as Matt Younkin flying the twin beech. Not only were these out of state civilian performers flying in this years small town show, the A-10 West Coast Demonstration Team also put on another awesome display. Temple was even able to get flybys by the B-2 and B-52.
We were originally scheduled to fly up to the airshow tomorrow, but things changed and we were able to attend today's show. Good thing to! Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be pretty bad, so we lucked out!
The next airshow will be the Ranger Fly-in and Airshow in Ranger, Texas. This airshow is on May 23rd, and we will be attending for the first time this year. It's going to be an awesome little airshow, and my first airshow from a grass strip. This means great performances by Mike Gallaway, David Martin, and others all close to the crowd. It's going to be great!
