Hot Diggity! That's pretty cool Spanky, our very own aerial celebrity!

Glad you weren't responsible for the fuel tab though, you probably burned through a couple of Thorps worth.

Very Cool!

There is a combination Thorp T-18 and adult beverage commercial in there somewhere - Senior highley talented, testosterone inflicted combat aviator hero flys MiG 29 by day, and flys his trusty Thorp T-18 for fun, then enjoys a post sortie Budweiser with a shot of stoli chaser. I see a picture of Spanky dressed in a white WWI scarf and goggles holding a Bud in one hand and a bottle of Stoli in the other in front of his T-18, with the MiG in the background, - on the cover of Time and EAA mags - send it to Putin. Glasnost and Perestroika!!
