Nice shots, is that a high take off or angled shot?

I'm still downloading 64Gb of images.  <laughing>

Great to hear Dr. D is ok, indeed this could have been much worse.

And next time you need to get more photos <nono> 64GB is not enough <whip>  <rolf>

Yeah, Kieth told me about this.  Glad he is ok and the plane sound repairable.   Good show otherwise?
Ahhh, now I get the text you sent me Damon...  ;)

The demos were very good (as Frank's was before the cable broke). John Collver was right on. The Thunder Delphins dd a three ship as one member couldn't get out of his home base. Doug Jardine was great as usual.

A little thin on statics though, largely due to planes not making the trek from the south or the coast due to the June crud. What was there wasn't too bad though. Dan Card's Mermaid (Dan worked on the Voyager project in Mojave in the 80's and we caught up on things that's we've been doing these many years). Al Goss brought Warlock and there were some nice general aviation birds. Nick Baker brought his Waco for rides and there was also a Bell Jetranger providing rides.

Balloons did not go up although one did inflate. Too much breeze.

Wayne Handley was there and in very good spirits. Nice crowd also.

The was the second annual Thunder over Porterville and it went so well that I would believe there will be a third come next year.  <thumbup>
