The weekend before last we went to Thunder in the Valley Air Show where Gary ward performed. Gary is one of the best aerobatic pilots I have ever saw. I called Gary the following Monday to schedule some time with him at his air strip/shop/home and he invited us to come down Saturday. We were happy just to meet him but he had something else in mind...he said...be right back, going to call FAA to get permission for my aerobatic box. We talked to a few minutes, helping him push plane out of hanger, then fueling.
The plane: MX-2 (All carbon fiber)
The Engine: 550 CI Ly-Con 350 HP

During the performance the local police showed up...Gary Buzzed them!
The officer only came out to watch...he knew Gary...I had Gary and officer pose for an arrest shot.

The sunlight was less then ideal for in flight shots, I did take a few but have not processed them yet.
It was really a treat to meet Gary and to also get to see him perform...what excitement.
