Ozark Mountain Jets 2002

On September 6th, 7th, and 8th, we ventured to Sullivan, Missouri, to attend the first Ozark Mountain Jets. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Steve Collins, Roger Shipley and the River City Flyers put on a heck of a show, with I believe 31 pilots in attendance. We will be back next year for sure. Below are some of the shots from the weekend...

The flight up to 14,000 ft was
alot of fun. I even got to fly
it back down to 4,000 ft at a
decent rate of 3,000 ft / minute :-)
