Pix and video of my biplane formation flight

As promised:

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/biplane...ion_flight.htm

It really was the flight of a lifetime. As I was sitting in that
cockpit, leather helmet on, scarf streaming in the wind, perfectly
comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt on a lovely July evening, I
realized that heaven could very well be just like this.... Flying
behind a classic radial engine, with an antique biplane on each
wing...

Great pics, Jay! C'mon, guys, tighten it up!

Is the P-6E full scale? It looks great!

Did you get to meet the SX-300 gang from Spruce Creek there Monday,
Tuesday?

The guy flying the Hawk replica (Keith) has a whopping 10 hours on the
plane. He's not gonna do anything "tight" just yet.

Nope, it's 82%. I've watched it from when it was nothing but a set of
blueprints, all the way to first flight -- it's an amazing process to
observe from start to finish.

Nope. Although I DID notice an SX-300 parked in our old United Hangar
-- our buddy Harry said nothing about it to anyone, AFAIK.

Actually, there were three -- Keith, Jim and the Mississippi Gang, plus
Tony in the Egg.

Dang. Well, they must've been the "Stealth SX-300s, cuz no one seems
to have heard much about them. I never even heard them come in on
Unicom -- but then we left on Tuesday evening, so maybe they arrived
after that?

Too bad -- they are 'bout the coolest planes on the planet. I'd have
loved to have seen them.

You might have heard, "Red Flight of Four, 2 Mile Initial," followed in
about 30 seconds by, "Red Flight in the Break."
