Just for fun, I made this video showing what you don't usually see as a pilot. Now if the camera designers could only make their cameras more aerodynamic so the wind doesn't make them bounce around, it would be great. My apologies for the bumpy visual ride.
We attended the "Warbirds Over Addison" Aviation Event at Cavanaugh Flight Museum, Addison, Texas. Cavanaugh Flight Museum, home to the largest collection of flying historic and military aircraft in the Southwest.
We attended the 'Wings Over Paris' Airshow at Paris Cox Field in Paris, Texas. What an Airshow! Aerobatics by the top performers in the field, plus Warbirds! They even had a flying Mig 17! If you missed it, be sure and go next year. You won't regret it!
We attended EAA Chapter 1246's monthly get together where they were having a Pancake and Sausage fly-in. There we saw Jimmy Doolittle's totally restored 1938 Stinson Reliant aircraft. The owner was gracious enough to tell us about the history of this glorious aircraft.
We flew from Wood County Airport to Gladewater Airport for their EAA Chapter's "Gumbo on the Runway" event. What a day! Zero wind and unlimited visibility.

In this episode, Gary has removed the engine to fix a small oil leak, and discovers broken engine mounts on the Stinson SR-7 Project. He also shows us his other Stinson SR-7B project, which will be a full restoration.
Our good friend, Bob Rogers, has the best of both worlds, an Experimental Aircraft for pure fun and a General Aviation Aircraft for long trips and comfort. See his Mustang II and his 1966 V-35 Beechcraft Bonanza.
