EvanFlys - Hi all my aviation friends! I have some neat things to share with you. First, check out the photos of my friend Eddie Andreini's new P-51 Mustang. It should be flying next week! It is awesome!
I got the plane ride of my life when I went up with my friend Greg Colyer and his T-33 "Ace Maker".
Here is what I wrote about it.  And here is the video my dad did.  We took the T-33 over to Travis AFB for their air show that weekend. Here are our pictures from that awesome show.   I haven't written my review yet for it though (sorry Ellen!).  Here is another video my dad did with Eddie and his Super Stearman.  For the videos, hit play then pause it for a minute to let the video load before you start it.  Evan
