Luftwaffe Tornado.

This pic is my favorite, Frau Quib got a chuckle out of it too......

Yeah, I rock at aircraft identification

The one good thing about not being at the airshow is that I did not have to explain that our fuel tanks are not bombs 500,000,000 times.

Although way back when I did get in trouble for telling a youngster that they were bombs and that we drop them on schools and churches ...

Great pics Quib. keep 'em coming.

Reminds me of the time I was pulling static display in Germany at a Fest. A little German kid and his father came up, and the kid wanted to sit in my OH-58. I helped him inside, and sat him in the pilots seat. He started asking about the instruments, so I turned on the battery.

When the Attitude Indicator started spooling up and righting itself, the kid got a little nervous. He thought we were taking off.

The icing on the cake was when I reached up and turned on the windscreen defog/blower motors. The kid came unglued and scrambled the best he could out of the cockpit, balling his eyes out screaming for Pappy!

Daddy wasn't too happy with the American........

Great pics Quib. keep 'em coming.

Thanks.

Did you take them to Flowers too? They always had good cookies and a cool bird by the door to greet you.

The museum down in Pueblo is pretty sweet. Is the wings over the rockies the one at Lowry?

Yeah I took them to flowers....although I got screwed my first time down there...and not in a good way!

I was told they always have hot girls down there, so for my first solo X-ctry i wanted to go to pueblo, my instructor agreed and i planned to go to flower.

I was pretty excited taxiing in, a girl answered on the radio and said she would send someone out to park me. I was expecting a hot blonde...maybe a brunette. in the middle of the summer i was expecting something nice!

ended up being a dude named BUTCH. no joke.


I did take several of my students down there and ended up seeing plenty of the hot girls they hired, just wasn't my lucky day my first time down i guess!

yeah wings over denver is at lowry, very cool spot, lots of nice aircraft and a ton of history. definitely worth the day trip and it is very cheap to get in and look around

great pics quib! I wish i was off to check it out, the show gets better and better every year!

although today wasn't too bad...heard air force one on the radio and watched him climb out in front of us today...he was trying to find a smooth ride for the tard in the back

Thanks S7.
