Reminds me of that Howling Wolf song "...Im a tail dragger, Baby" Was
this on takeoff or a stunt? Scary if a stunt.

i would guess on takeoff, they do a fast gear up and head straight up
at some airshows.....the vapor flowing off each side of the cockpit
would indicate to be big time lift and g's being pulled....i say
initial
takeoff and accent.........it would be crazy if he was doing a flyby
at "speed" and came that close to the terra firma...(sp?)...cheers....
btw: they are ALWAYS a good show......

The Russians sometimes do this thing with a Sulkoi fighter at airshows
where the plane kind of walks on its engine thrust. Last week the
Russian aerobatic team, The Russian Knights, flying SU-27s , had a
fatal accident in rehersal for their big annual industry show,
MAK-2009. 2 pilots killed.

Shhhhhhhh. Typing very quietly....... Fred doesn't know the Russians
have an aerobatic team, let alone practice these flying maneuvers. He
thinks it's a kind, kind, kind, kind world out there.

Yeah boy, having aerobatic teams that practice flying maneuvers is
some evil ****.

Imbecile.

who would like to wonder whether anyone fails to see the inevitable
connection between stupidity and evil.....but is forced by
circumstances to wonder whether anyone doesn't fail to see it.

Well, Fred seems to think so. I think it is rather benign, sort of like you.

not nearly as "thrilled" as they are gonna be when i show up with a chilled
half gallon of stoli and some olives. the little rascals might be ripe for

Yeah, sure. I can be sure of two things in this world:

1. You will never go back to Lakewood.
2. Fortenberry is an asshole and he too will never see the Rapid.

Ooooops, that's three things.

You should grab Jeffie, his wife Rachel, and your current SO and head
up this way. Fishing this year has been very good.

Heading back up in a couple of weeks. Jo and I will be there the last
full week in September. Like I said, "Eat your heart out!"

d;o)
And the Russian girls, Ksenya and Irina, have returned to Russian, unchanged.

I'll give you the same excuse I always give for the Penn's Clave.
It makes absolutely no sense for me to drive right past some of
the best fly fishing for trout in the lower 48 just to drive to
another place that has some of the best fly fishing for trout in
the lower 48. I've fished with a lot of roffians and had a great
time doing it but my favorite fishing companion is a one year old,
60 pound blonde who can't hold her licker.

Now if Labrador were ever to change their idiotic guide laws ...
