Another belated photo post. Happened at KAAO over 2 days and 3 nights, while I was still working line service. We had some great acts, among them, Patty Wagstaff, Skip Stewart, John Mohr, and the red eagles, plus the Commodores performed Friday night. This was one of the things that convinced me that I need a Digital SLR.

Heres Patty sporting her new paint on Friday night

Les Shockley. Wish I could have caught him when he lit up right in front of me

John Mohr on Sunday

Skip Stewart and Les Shockley on Sunday. Jim Leroy was planned to attend, but unfortunately he died in July.

Another sad storey, this pilot died the week after the show in his personal Yak 52. One of his team members contacted me through Youtube asking for these for a slideshow for his family.

It was a neat show, I actually got fired Saturday morning (at 7am after working till 3am on a 14 hour shift) for refusing to come in on my day off. I was subsequently re-hired after my boss decided there would be a shortage of workers. Theres lots more, I'll see if I can get more posted.
