Flying a Vintage SNJ

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

So it was October 14, about 3 PM, and the Great Georgia Airshow had concluded. The crowds were moving en masse towards the buses that would take them back to the parking area. I, however, was not part of this mass exodus, as my day wasn’t over yet. Jim Buckley, of the CAF’s Dixie Wing, was going to be taking me up for a hop in his SNJ. As much as I love to watch air shows and take lots of photos, under the enjoyment of my day had been the anticipation of this flight. But first there was still some waiting for me- there were a few people ahead of me for flights.
