Grand Champion warbird award last night was the newly restored P-51 C , Lopes Hope named for Don Lopez, and from the Dakota museum, Warren Petch and the guys, they didnt have their very nice Spitfire Mk IX judged. I tried to tell them that the judge owed me a favor and if they just let me take that plane up for a half hour I could guarantee them an award, but no sale.
Reserve Grand champion went to the Canadian Spitfire from Gatineau, re Mike Potter, Dave Hadfield . Having two Spitfires parked side by side in the prime display spot was great, and the Canadian one flew in the show!
