Nice catch Chris. Is this the same aircraft that was shot by vandals earlier this year?

Yep, same one. It was one guy with a pistol.

The plane is a "snowbird." It spends winters at DVT and summers in Flagstaff.

Yak-50 climbing out. One of the few real Yaks at DVT. Lots of Nanchangs though. Many refer to those as Yaks too.

Pitts climbing steeply.

I was trying to place where I remembered that tail number from... and that's the Pitts that belongs to Gunther Eichhorn.  He may not be known to many folks these days, but he and his website Landings.com, began wayyyy back in 1994 and was one of the first real aviation websites around the dawn of the WWW.  Unfortunately it never really evolved from the Web 1.0 era and is pretty sad looking these days... but I remember it was my starting homepage on Netscape Navigator running on my Packard Bell Pentium desktop connecting to my local dial-up BBS (with a Winsock WWW connection) via a 28.8 modem... it's amazing how far we've come!!

I've never heard if that site. I just took a look and it's pretty primitive, alright.

I've seen the plane around DVT a couple of times in the past few months.

Nice little Skybolt biplane climbing out. Heading for the Firebird aerobatic box to the northwest.

Interesting morning at DVT. More to follow later.

I had not seen this L-39 before. It came out of the northwest industrial park, so it could be affiliated with the L-29 that is also over there.
