Farewell to Airventure 2018

Posted on by Sunny Weathers

We are well on our way to Spearfish, SD so it is time to say good-bye to Airventure 2018.  I finish my coverage of this event with a review of my favorite warbirds from the show and follow below with pics of my favorite airshow planes.  For a giggle, first click here to see a video of me performing acrobatics with the Aeroshell team!

Sunny’s Warbird Pics

T-6 Canopy Cover
The cover on this T-6 mimics the actual canopy of the plane. Storm and I are impressed with the ingenuity of this.
This B-25 bomber is now piloted by an all female crew. The crew sells shirts with the Devil Dog nose art printed on them. Storm and I now have a complete wardrobe of these shirts!
