Superman 2001

Once again, a great time was had by all, at our last big hurrah of the season. Over the years you can really see the technology getting better in the jets, as it looked like more accident and trouble free flights than ever before. Friday was pretty soggy, but we made use of the time looking in the vendor tents, and attending a demonstration by Bob Violett on his new paint meant to reproduce a metal aluminum finish. We learned about many new electronic toys out there now, and I got to see in person why people have been saying good things about Tam's turbine tailpipes. They are true works of art.
