Sea Hurricane got Best Warbird

The Sea Hurricane won Best Warbird. Not to shabby.

And a big Shout out to Joe Gilbert for the help in getting it trimmed out.

It looked great flying.  You flew it good too. I regret not getting one when I had the chance.. but seriously doubt I could achieve the finish of yours and Jims. Well done.

      All the war birds at this years contest were really nice looking. Ty's Don Gentile P-51B Olive Drab  paint scheme and graphics were very realistic, Joe Bowman's great looking Curtiss Helldiver, George Water's very nicely detailed P-47, Don Cranfill's nice P-51B, Jim Lynche's great looking Hurricane, but Paul, your well done Hurricane certainly deserved the top spot. You were amongst some very, very good builders and finishers! Congratulations! So glad you and the Memphis Mafia made the trip.

Really nice plane Paul. It's been a pleasure to watch you over the years become better and better at building and flying.
