The ladies arrive and the plane gets tugged out to a photo-friendly-area.

Chris taking a shot that probably will end up being one used on the calendar.

Just a candid moment

For the record, it took me awhile to get all the butt, leg and hand prints off the Mustang afterwards.  ;)

Behind the scenes...

Colorful ladies...

Steve and Bob making sure everything is going well.

So THAT'S why I had to wipe the whole wing off...now I remember.  :)

The girls did a nice job.

It was *really* hot out there. These girls did a great job looking cool in all that hot.  I'd have been a puddle.

Chuck is always helpful to a damsel in distress...

I'm sorry, is there a girl in that picture? Look at that pretty airplane. :D

A PT-26 comes in to land behind the Mustang

The ladies made a video of the photo shoot too, which turned out nicely.

Chivalrous Chuck...

Always there with a hand, a sign...

Break time in the hangar, out of the sun, while the T-6 gets out and positioned.

Getting into the T-6 in a skirt is not easy. Ask me how I know.  ;)  However, these girls all had shorts on underneath the skirts...relax...

Now we have a Super Decathlon landing behind us...

The girls on the Six...

I liked this one...

And this one.

Saluting is cute, but I'm betting some folks won't like that the salutes aren't "proper".

The girls' parents were there, along with the photographer, and us.

I didn't have to wipe down the Six afterwards.  That works.  :)

A Stearman was coming in behind the girls as this shot was getting set up.  We were becoming a warbird airport that day!

Stearman in the background...

Checkertail Clan on the ramp...

One of the girls gives the other girls the "start 'em up" signal.

Lining up the Stearman with the P-51 and T-6.

Girls in front of a bi-wing

The PT-26 is lined up on the ramp too...

In order of learning to fly, (sort of), from right to left...

Pretty ladies and pretty planes

Chris with the ladies

Chuck with the ladies

Me with the girls.  One hot, sweaty 40-year-old with four made-up, lovely kids.  :P
