Took my son and a friend to the Air Expo at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, MN today. We arrived at just the right time to sit a few feet from a P-38 while it taxied and took off (did a couple of sexy sounding fly-bys as well), then stayed around until they put just about every one of the show planes up in the air followed by the B-17.

Hoping to hit up the Duluth air show later in the year and get my wife's camera cleaned up and running a telephoto lens by then.

uRizen, would it be possible for you to re-size your pictures and/or not use Timg? Both of my computers absolutely poo poo a brick trying to load 25+ 2200x1800 pictures. I just want to see the cool planes too :saddowns:

Oops, yeah, that was a few too many pictures (crashed my tablet, heh.) Updated post with a link to a Flickr set.

Thank you, now I can be properly jealous of all the great planes you got to see.

What's this? My brain keeps wanting to call it a Fi-156 Storch, which I know isn't right.

Dunno, other than it's some form of Cessna with ROCKETS.
