Oh yea She comes through every year on fuel stops to/from AirVenture, and sometimes comes to our Airshow. Steve, the gentleman who flies it is an awesome guy and have known him for about 9 years. They do a "heritage flight" when it's here for our airshow with an A-10 and it's a sight to see!

Great photos!

When I owned an air ambulance service, we flew a King Air 200 and a Piper Cheyenne as a backup. It was great fun, but aviation is incredibly expensive and emergency medical care is a new ballgame at altitude. We made more money owning two ground services.

Here is some cool footage of the Breitling jet team, I saw them a year or so ago at an air show and they were pretty spectacular; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez63f_iVsD8

We were at the id club party at baselworld hoping to meet some of the pilots but couldn't see them anywhere
