I used to sit on the wing of his P-51 with him at Reno every year following the Unlimited Gold race while he signed autographs for fans. What a time to be a kid who loved airplanes........
Sure you can its only money.... What else are you going to do with it...? Go on....just one little take off and landing.... maybe a few circuits..... what harm will do...? We won't tell if you don't...
I finally broke down and scheduled an hour for next weekend. Been ~7 months since I've committed aviation...

Somebody requested a snowy, full moon night flying video. My sack isn't big enough to shoot that, but I did get a new camera for Christmas and put this together. There's snow at least... This is my first attempt and I have quite a bit of jelly effect in it, but thought I would post it anyway. <iframe src="https://api.smugmug.com/services/embed/1667668436_HLXDFdQ?width=640&height=360" scrolling="no" width="640" frameborder="0" height="360"></iframe>
