Default Delaware Coastal Airport Wings and Wheels

Thought I would share my past Saturday. I drove my 1960 Electra to the Delaware Coast Airport Wings and Wheels Car Show.

Got an opportunity to have my picture taken with a P51 behind me:



The to my surprise...I was able to meet Col Charles McGee. Tuskegee Airman! I was able to speak with him for a bit. I could take with this gentleman for hours.



Then I got a face full of burnt jet fuel. You will see a P51, a trainer and biplane roll by. Watch it to the end.

Nice one Chris, that video brings back a few similar but lower key memories
