Title: Regionals pictures
Post by: Gary Dowler on May 28, 2018, 02:17:23 AM: Well Roseburg was a good time. I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I got a few.

Orin's T-34c, Monocoupe and YF-12A

A competitor and his pretty plane. Wish I had got his name

Got to meet a few people. Briefly met Paul Walker, and finally got to meet Brett in person. Brett, was my pleasure, wish I'd had more time to chat but I dared not get too distracted.

The last picture is Jimmy Rohdes from SLC, with his Apterix (something like that, anyway!). Wish I could have afforded to go.... :( Steve

I watched the Corsair fly, and I was impressed. I thought it flew very well indeed for a non flapped bird.
Might have to build one myself at some point.

Uhhhhh if that's the bird you're referring to I think it's "Doe-Doe"! They fly backwards I'm told! LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

Anyway I'd be willing to bet it was with a fabulously beautiful airplane!
