Kaspar,

Assuming that's a camera he has mounted on the window, I hope you said, "Cheese!"

Nice shot, I like that you just caught the wingtip + the cool look of the mountains distorted by the canopy.  Does he have the seat raised just while taxiing, and he'll lower it while in flight?  If not, looks like he'll be bumping his head quite a bit.

Awesome Capture.  This was the second aircraft type flown by the Blues.  They jumped to jets after the Bearcat. flying the F9F8 Panthers. (Hellcat, Bearcat, Panther, Cougar, Tiger, Phantom II, Skyhawk, and Hornet).  The Cutlas also wore the Blue's colors but only as a solo.

Joe, this took place on January 29th and I was there to participate in the event having worked for Larry Newman during the early eighties. One of the attendees was Bryan Allen who piloted and powered the Gossamer Condor and Albatross man powered aircraft on their record breaking flights. We both worked for Larry at American Aerolights and Bryan was my instructor when I learned to fly the Eagle ultralight that we manufactured.  We also worked together on the Eagle XL, Bryan being the test pilot.  Ancient history!
