Alrighty, a couple more then…
When I have the lot processed I’ll stick them in their own post and add them to my website of course.
Chris, thanks for the link. As it turned out my home insurance covered my stuff already, so I could make do with a rather basic travel insurance.
Lynn, the trip was a blast, I really enjoyed myself! Almost one full week of aircraft and more aircraft! 😀
I stayed over with a friend of mine there, and he took me around the various places. Originally it was the plan to start with watching A-10s in action on a shooting range, but weather cancelled that. Instead we spent two days in the USAF Museum, which is great. On Friday we attended the Mustang show and on Saturday we went to a big fly-in in Indiana in a Yak-52. Sunday on and over his local airfield, and I got aerobatic rides in the Yak as well as a Christen Eagle II. Especially the latter is an amazing plane! So small and responsive and a fantastic view through the all-clear canopy. Doing hammerheads in that thing beats any roller coaster ride hands down! 😎
Of course I made countless photos, and the system of taking a few big CF cards and burning DVDs in the evening worked really well. It was a good thing too that I took all camera gear in my hand luggage cause on the return trip my suitcase was missing (only to be delivered next day).
I have yet to go through all the thousands of photos I took, but here’s one teaser:
PS. Good thing burgers don’t taste nearly as good in the UK – I gained 5 pounds in those few days! :p
