Default "Pearl Harbor" still sucks...

Did anyone mention "High Road to China"? Good dogfighting scenes if you can
tollerate all the kissing

Despite this fact, we had a great turnout for our second pilot's movie
night. Our invited friends included the owners of:

...a Bellanca Super Viking
...a '29 Travel Air Biplane
...a Super Cub
...a Swearingen SX-300
...an RV-10 kit (in progress...)
...a Glasair II
...a Rose Parakeet
...and one guy who (I swear) has owned one of everything, in his 80
years on this planet.

Needless to say, some serious hangar flying took place, both before and
after the flick. By popular request, our warm-up movies consisted of
30 minutes of stuff off of our aviation video website,
www.AlexisParkInn.com/aviation_videos.htm.

Everyone suffered through the movie's awful plot (without booing, I'm
glad to report) but we all reveled in the excellent P-40, Spitfire, and
Pearl Harbor battle scenes. Someone smuggled some beer into the
theater (again, dang it), and a good time was had by all!

BTW: We've only got five seats left for Bill Fox' SR-71 Blackbird talk
on Tuesday, May 30. If you're interested and can make it, email me --
first come, first served!
