That’s the one. My thanks to the pilot, Cody Welch, for showing me this wonderful airplane. Also, it’s a requirement to fly with your elbow out the side window (just because you can).

There’s a nice shot of this plane on the cover of Flying magazine this month (and if you look hard enough you can just see a desert camo L-39 on the OSH ramp below :)).

PS Still looking for Andy. Last reports had him reliving the War of 1812 somewhere on the East Coast.

HI Denise, and welcome to the forum. I’m sure you’ll find it an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Oh, by the way…do you dance???

Steve

Thanks for those kind words, Peter. All I can say is that it was a true pleasure to finally meet you and Nicky, and Allison and I very much enjoyed your company and your friendship. I’m sorry the weather didn’t cooperate more, but the hospitality (and wine) of the Breitling tent at least took some of the sting out.

Let’s not wait a year to get together again. Oh, and thanks again for my hat. Now I have one without flowers.

Best wishes,

Steve & Allison

OK, seeing as you’ve all uncovered my deep dark secret I might as well come clean. I’m a warbird morris dancer pilot. There, I’ve said it. Wew, glad I got that off my chest.

Oh, and Melv is a wannabe Rearwin Cloudster Morris Dancer, too.

Now leave us alone in the privacy of the internet.

Cheers, and the first dance is on me!

Steve

Shall we call this one quits before Steve has a complete sense of humour failure?

Jeez, I can’t make anyone on this forum happy… 😎
