Title: Ride to Hendersonville, NC for an air show
Post by: SCJJR65 on June 11, 2008, 08:15:51 AM

Hope this link works!  This past Sunday, Pattimarie and I rode to Hendersonville, NC with another couple to check out a vintage air and auto show that was going on at the local air strip.  Even though the temps went up to 95 degrees by noon, we still had a good time checking out numerous old planes and autos that were on display.  I assembled a short slide show on this link, if you want to give it a look.  (Use the "reverse oder" button to view the slide show as I intended it!)

All in all, it was a fun trip, even if I did get accidentally "rear ended" later in the day by my own wife at a traffic light in Asheville!

Nice Pics !

I really enjoy going to shows like this.  My wife will tolerate them but she isn't as fascinated by old iron as I am !
Hopefully Pattimarie was intending to give you a 'love tap' !

Hey John, great pics, & it looks like a fun day. Thanks!

Question though: was the lady that hit you driving a "truck with writin' on it"??

If so, I smell mo' $$$$$   ;)   ;)

Yeah, someday I hope to go up in "the real thing".....  And pretend I'm Snoopy going after the Red Baron!   ::)

Looked a great day out John and no rain!  ;D  

Nice slide show too.

 I think summer is cancelled over here at the moment.
