… I had lunch with a friend in Phoenix this afternoon and didn’t get back to Sedona until late afternoon. I called a friend at the airport to check on Sedona Airport Days and he told me that if I hurried I could still get light on the Corsair and P-38 that had flown in this afternoon. I hustled, but was delayed by a shiny new red Ferrari doing 25 to 30 mph directly ahead of me … he had no choice either as he was behind a person going very slow all the way.
Anyhow, I got there and had fun shooting them in the fading light. The Corsair is my all time favorite military plane with those incredibly beautiful wings. More than 12,000 of them were made … they entered service in 1942 and today there are less than 50 remaining. It could do 400mph and was an awesome and lethal aircraft.
The F4U Corsair is an absolutely stunning lady and you should come up to the airport Saturday October 1st and see her in person … the P-38 is terrific too and a friend of mine flew one of them.
There are also all kinds of modern and not so modern aircraft and a lot of classic cars on display too. Admission is FREE and bring the whole family … A skydiver is scheduled for 10AM and the gate opens at 9AM.
Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
Ted
I bring but this one common thought
My life has wrought;
That from the dregs of drear despair
Still everywhere
There is a joy I yet may sip—
‘Tis comradeship
With all mankind, the high and low
I know.
