July 6th 2014 - Austrian Alps - Red Bull Airshow Helicopter Wanted to share this semi Kermie Cam from the archive with you... I had a chance to go up in one of ...the Red Bull airshow helicopters for a "casual" tour run with "Blackie" their pilot extraordinaire! Since it's like a Kermie Cam, it's only the perspective from the cockpit. We took off and headed into the next Alp valley . . . and proceeded to do loops, rolls, hammerheads, vertical rolls and forward flips! So much for casual! Man it was a lot of fun, and the view was extraordinary. It was a heluva ride!!!

This is from back in 2015, I had a work trip in Idaho, just happened to have some time to myself to travel around a bit and came across the Warhawk museum. I th...ink this is an E model P-40 Kittyhawk. If I remember correctly the guide told me it’s painted in an RAF shark scheme used in North Africa, but I could be wrong. I thought it was pretty cool!

You don’t have to be a pilot to enjoy this!

Just a heads up if you have been missing your airshow fix this year, let's hope it is just the first of many to be back on. https://fb.me/e/3TcM6dk7v

Happy Birthday P-51!

The special military mural unveiled at Army, Navy, Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) 283 today was the brainchild of many individuals involved. Thank you to the two... artists.

And, here’s a shot of the left side of the cockpit. I believe the Museum has some restrictions due to the Covid Craziness, so check out their website before you go and give her a loving pat for me!"
