As air show time is now two weeks away, things have gone into fever-pitch as far as museum and airport activities are concerned. This was a good day to be at the museum so you can say I was in hog heaven! In this case, Bob Hoover's old P-51D Mustang 'Ole Yeller' and a T-6 Texan nicknamed Lil' Ashlee took to the skies allowing for some great photography opportunities. The museum's Grumman Tracker, with repairs and maintenance since acquisition nearly complete was also rolled out of the museum hangar for the first time in a while. All in all, it was a good day and I got a lot of new photos. Here's the link so you can see for yourself:

| North American T-6 (SNJ-5) Texan (N6900C) nicknamed "Lil' Ashlee" after engine start-up. As you can see, she's smokin' hot! Most T-6s I've seen are painted so it's kind of neat to see a bare-metal schemed one. Not only that, but this Texan has a three-bladed propeller. |
