But Wait!!!

The MOST amazing thing was that I talked Kathy into flying over!  Here's the pictures, courtesy of Phil Calahan, to prove it!

 

Ok, well... she's the tiny head in the front but it's really her!  This is only the second time since I've owned the plane that she's taken a ride.  Ok, the "ride" was less than 10 minutes from Ann Arbor... but it's a start!!

ME-109

I had never seen an ME-109 before and was shocked how small it really was.

Alert!  Germans invade Ypsi cornfield!...

P-47's to the rescue
