This is why I was away from the event on Saturday, the back seat ride in the F-100F was a great experience for an old NAVY guy. In my absense, Gordon Dickens was busy with his Nikon digital and graciously sent us this and the following photos - thank you Gordon! - BV

This was a first and the spectators truely enjoyed it. Tim Redelman, Craig Gottschang, Dave Malchione and David Reid managed to get their Rhino's airborne within seconds of each other for a formation routine of close fly-bys and rolling maneuvers. The sound was incredible. All returned safely for this photo.

Here are the now famous "Georgia Jets" pilots. From left to right are James Moody, Craig Gottschang, Mike Pascoe, Tim Fielden, Jay Lawton and Gordon Dickens. A fun group of gentlemen doing what they like best.

Gordon's Super Bandit is one of the most attractive and visible with the Swiss Acro Team paint scheme. He looks pleased with it, as were the spectators behind. The grand stands were full Saturday and Sunday.

Delta Airlines Captain, Craig Gottschang thoroughly enjoys his model jets. This Bandit is at least 3 years old and has logged hundreds of flights - still powered by an early RAM 750.

This is a great action shot of Craig's F-4 on take-off.

This tried and true Bandit is now being enjoyed by James Moody. The parallel taxi strip at Darby Dan Airport offers a plentiful staging and start-up area for the 100+ pilots.

This was Gordon's ride to the show on Thursday. The Lear 60 did a high performance take-off followed by a thrilling fly-by on its departure.

Mike Lesher is still getting familiar with his Phantom or the "Flight of Four" might have been "Five". There are actually 5 Blue Angel Phantoms flying in various locations around the USA - tough to get them all at one meet however.
