Winston Salem Airshow

I had the opportunity to take my two oldest grandsons to the Winston Salem Airshow this past weekend. The weather was nice and I think they enjoyed the trip. 

There were the usual attractions with lots of people. The main attraction was the Memphis Belle. I'm not sure if it was the the original Memphis Belle or a B-17 restored to look like the Memphis Belle. In any event, it is not often one gets the chance to see a vintage B-17. 

And No I didn't pay $450 for a ride!  

Flying no longer is a large part of my life. I have been to many air shows and have flown many hours in my own airplane.  I enjoyed ever minute, but no longer have the desire I once had. As one gets older, new priorities come along. As a result, I decided to sell the airplane that I owned for 28 years. It is hard to part with something you have owned that long. 

There she goes on her way to her new owner in Texas. This picture was taken in May. Hope she found a good home.
