Static Displays
Some of
the static displays at this event were also flying displays later. Here
are some of the aircraft that were out and on display.
Joe Peppito moves the C-46 "China
Doll" (N53594) into position next to the C-131 Samaritan (N131CW) while
Eric Lange watches the wing.

Jason Somes' T-6 (N8540P) and the CAF SNJ-5N (N89014).


Mark Russell's T-34B Mentor (N341MR).

The CAF SNJ-5 (N89014) and it's
little twin, a scale model of it.

The morning sunlight provided
near-perfect lighting for the nose art on China Doll.

of the C-46 "China Doll".

The T-6 of Jason Somes is in position as Chris Rushing's SNJ (N86WW)
"Sugarfoot" arrives.

Mark Matye tows his T-28

flybys later in this airplane.
