Skypony's X-air. It's paid for and I can afford to fly it 2-3 times a week.

Nice classic 180 paint scheme. A friend of mine just redid his with the same original look in black and red on white. His masking work was pretty impressive to watch.

Re: Photo thread: Show Us Your Plane!

I am one of those lucky souls that gets to fly toys that belong to other people...I treat them like my own and always try to return them in better shape then when I pulled them out of the hangar. Did I mention that I love my job. :lol:

The Maule...my most frequent ride...

Image

"Kaydet Kate"...my summertime date...

Image

The Centurion...the family SUV

Image

"Frostbite"...the gas saver...LOL

I was going to have my own airshow act but the FAA wouldn't let my 3-year-old do any strut walking. Next they'll tell me he can't clear airliners to takeoff from JFK.
