Very disappointing that I couldn't get out to see her today...  I should remember to not make commitments in the future!!

She was greeted like a rockstar!

I wanted to give it that old time feel. I tried a little Photoshop editing and I think it will be ok.

Nice, Brian, Nice!

Great sequence on the approach.

Thanks!  I got those shots from 19th Avenue.  There's nothing like the sound of four R-3350s a hundred feet overhead.

There are many more photos of Fifi, Maid in the Shade, and Sentimental Journey on my web site at http://air-and-space.com/20101114 Deer Valley.htm.

I was darn fortunate to get into position about 30 seconds before she came overhead.

Classic Planform...

Interesting that the roundels on the sides don't line up.  Wonder why?  Is there a hatch in there somewhere on one side or the other?
