Fifth Annual "War Birds Over Oklahoma"

Yukon, Oklahoma  May 09

I'm sorry it took me so long to post this event.

The event was scheduled for May 16th but rain flooded the field, so 23rd was the day.   The following are pictures from this event.  Several folks turned out with their  war birds of all sizes and eras.  The good folks of the Yukon club hosted an excellent event, well organized, good food, and a raffle of another war bird highlighted the day.  This year in addition to the drawing they also awarded prizes for the best scale model of WW I, WW II & modern era.  My Fokker D VII brought home the best WW I.   Several of SPADS members attended to fly or watch the action.  There was a few crashes but overall it was a very good day for the airplanes.  Most went home intact as they came.  As expected P-51s of all sizes were very plentiful.  Jerry Mahl & Phil Hempfling flew their combat routine with Phil's 51s and Jerry's Zero, they were very impressive.   I don't have many flying shots, it is very hard to get a good shot with my camera.  I am late posting this event that is why some of the dates on the pictures are different.
