wildblue 7 #1 July 21, 2003 http://www.daytondailynews.com/inventingflight/content/inventingflight/gallery/0721smoke2.html I couldn't find any of the actual show, but the flag they fly is farkin' huge! Very impressive http://www.libertyteam.com/images/lpt_flag.jpg -- I can't imagine how that affects the flight of the canopy! It was really cool to watch the bi-plane with smoke circle them all, almost all the way to the ground too. Had to have been a cool site under canopy too! Against the decidedly lackluster appearance of the Golden Knights, the Liberty Parachute team had to of wowed the crowd every morning of the air show. Too bad most of the crowd didn't show up until later.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(of course) I had the red in between the yellow... I Have been doing Air Shows and special events for over 20 years now, and the Dayton show was THE BEST I've EVER seen! Got to meet 'SkyCop' and his son, and spend a little time together. It was a real honor to be there... Among the greatest Air Show acts in the world. I got home this morning from Dayton and I'm STILL so pumped it's WILD !!!! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 July 21, 2003 It was a great opening act. I was walking up with Wildblue and Vallerina as we saw the canopies. Then the smoke came on and it looked so great even from across the airport. The Biplane looked like he was having too much fun there also going around you guys. Who ever was the one that spiraled all the way down was setting up for a nice 1440 degree hook from the looks of it I was impressed by the Dayton Air show and even heard you on the microphone Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #4 July 21, 2003 Airtwardo, I think I meet you out a Spaceland. Are you Walt Green's friend? Great job. MaryMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

airtwardo 7 #5 July 21, 2003 Yup! That was me... A non stop left hook turn from 3800 feet... Bury the right at 30 feet and WAHOOOOO! The other guy hasn't been on the smoke stunt quite as long as I have and in the interest of safety, stopped his spin somewhat higher. So cool when you get skydiver feedback... Instead of the usual...." What's it like goin' back up " Met Wendy and Rainbow from SDC... THEY WERE ON THE PYRO CREW!!! The 'Wall of Fire' set a world record the last day, Gunniess was actually there! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #10 July 22, 2003 All I've got to say is.................. The Liberty Parachute Team ROCKS!!!!!!!!! Twardo and all the other members are not only first class jumpers, but set the standard for civilian jump teams! The Dayton Airshow was the show to be beat all shows. Even an airshow geek like me was spent by 3:00pm, and there were still 3 more hours of airshow. Again, I'd like to thank Twardo and the team for all the hospitality they showed while my son and myself visited the Dayton Airshow. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"
