Random Griz Aviation Musings

[Griz882]

Met @Walt6541 and his hard working CAP cadets at 7B3. Saw a nice modified T-34A.

The army dropped in with a Chinook (you can see the CAP cadets doing their thing)…

And the NH state police brought over their Bell 407. Great, small event with lots of visitors.

Great meeting you today, Grizz!!

Why didn’t you?

Why didn’t you?

Engine parts are getting harder to find - and even slower than my already slow Enstrom.

A nice 4 ship flyover for today's Bengals game by HMLA-773. They landed here at LUK, where the crews where ferried back to the stadium to be hosted at the Owner's Box. Pretty sweet!

Perfect autumn day here.

I had to look closer at the image…but those blade grips are amazingly large!

The Zulu model Cobra is the biggest rigid rotor system helicopter I know of - so that is not too surprising to handle all the movements of those blades.

Maintenance repo flight this morning. On the ramp, personal Citation Jet of Scott's Corporation - the CEO is a former AF F-15 guy. MG tail flash = "Miracle Grow". Nice looking jet.

Pretty extensive annual this year, replacing a few ribs and some fabric work on the wings, repainting the whole bird so she is all the same color of Cub Yellow, and swapping out the A65 for an A85.
