Oregon Aero SkyDancer – 1956 de Havilland Chipmunk
Steve Oliver in the Oregon Aero SkyDancer put on an excellent show. Hard to think that this is an old trainer once used by Canada.

Sun N Fun 2009
This little event in the air show circuit happened last week. The Bowl took a Saturday and some sunscreen to Lakeland Linder Regional Airport to check out the flotsam…
One of the cool but slightly dangerous things about the Fun N Sun, is that you are on active taxiways. Granted, there are motorcycle escorts, but still, your ten feet from a T-28 Trojan as it parks.

Ever seen a Yak – 52? Me neither.

But one of the neatest things was a little presentation called “An Unlikely Reunion: - Reconciliation in Vietnam.“ Dan Cherry and Hong My gave side by side accounts of the same dogfight that happened on April 16, 1972. And by side by side, I mean US and North Vietnam sides. Their first encounter was as warriors. Their second was as friends.

It was a moment I will remember.
Join us over the next few days as the Brass Bowl posts more images. We took a lot of pictures, and it’s hard to pick just a few.
