Arlington Airshow, Take TWO (PICS)
#1

I don't want to hijack Doodle's thread, so started my own. Hope that's OK.

As viewed from the east side of the airport, over near Out of the Blue Aviation, here are some pics of the show on Friday:

Matt Groth and his green and white Decathlon 8KCAB put on an outstanding performance on Friday. I've had the privilege of flying with Matt on many occasions, most recently to shoot some video of his airshow routine, and it's always a thrill. He's a true artist with this aircraft:

Going on turn number 7 of his opening spin. It's amazing how stable the aircraft is at this point

John's a really cool guy, he's the instructor who gave me my tailwheel endorsment!

Bud And Ross Granley put on great performances, as always!
