I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in a professional photo shoot over #OSH17 just before dusk. Glenn Watson of www.MachPointOneAviation.com was the photographer. Glenn Watson is based in Texas, not too far from Kerrville in case anyone would like to duplicate the experience over the Hill Country of Texas.
The C-model is a 1974 flown by Flying Magazine Senior Editor, Pia Bergqvist. My airplane is a 1965 E model. Both were painted by the artists at ArtCraft Paint in Santa Maria, CA.
12 hours from Pismo Beach, CA to OSH, and about the same home, the plane performed without a hitch. The formation flight with the Mooney Caravan was a thrill.
I suppose the song's lyrics speak to how full my heart is after a week with my aviation family. My heart still beats like BOOM.
