SUPERCAR REUNION, ST. LOUIS & CLEV. AIR SHOW PICS

[Mr. Chevy]

Not to be redundant here.. But thought I would post some pictures I had of this years Super Car Reunion. I tried to mix them up a bit to be different from what was posted already.

I also included some photos from downtown St. Louis and the arch.. My Wife and I visited there Thursday morning through late afternoon. Labor Day I attended the Cleveland National Air Show and met up with Phil "Woj" and included some pictures from the show...

Enjoy........ Rich http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

The mighty Mississippi River and the bridge which I believe Chevy Chase "AKA Clark Griswold" drove across with the "fam" in the movie Vaction... This was in close proximity to the arch..

M22Mike and Al getting ready to "duke it out" The "New Driver" front license plate on Mike's Camaro was put on by Grady as a practical joke that Doug Perry, Grady and myself were involved with. Mike had a USA-1 plate on there. He actually liked the plate and got a kick out of it. We thought he would be mad at us but wasn't.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[Woj]

Rich,

Nice coverage of a great weekend.

That was the last Cleveland Airshow demo for our Unit's C-130's. We'll be losing them to the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) legislation. It was a privilege to fly the last demo at that show. I'll miss the old bird; I was a mechanic on them for 5 years and flyer for 22 years.

Wish I could have made the reunion this year. I'll be ready for next year.

Phil Woj.
