We took the Sexton to a steam and power show over the weekend. Hot and humid.

Bob; It is at the Lake County fairgrounds in Crown Point Indiana. It will be at the Willow Run Airport near Detroit for the Thunder Over Michigan Air Show on August 7-8. Jesse.

My mistake....
....used to be a steam buff but converted to OD.....
You sure have a crowd pleasure to show...... wonder if people fully appreciate the massive effort to restore and the effort/cost to just move it around at shows..... Boob

Bob; Probably for 99% of the people, No. Most people think this rolled in from the local National Guard, and was allways in this condition. One guy asked what year it was. I told him '44, and he asked me what war that was? Another history channel expert insisted that it only had a 7 cylinder engine. He was still sure after I told him that I had rebuilt the engine. Maybe I put the last 2 cylinders in the wrong place. Another guy insisted that I had the wrong cam in it, causing it to idle so rough. I told him that was exactly how it was supposed to sound. He was around front yelling at me through the drivers hatch to push the choke in. You get all kinds at shows. One Korean war vet who was a tank mechanic shared a ton of usefull technical information. Sounded like he was there yesterday. Another vet drove a half track on the autobahn durring the war. They were in a hurry, and plowed through several flocks af sheep en route. Jesse.

We took the Sexton to Thunder Over Michigan in Belville Mich. last weekend. Lots of WWII aircraft (8 B-17s, 1 B-24) The 8th AF reunion was there. The airport let us drive on their paved roads. We had it wound out in 5th gear several times, had mud flying, and trailing clouds of dust. Holy smoke, what a ride! The tracks are clean now! Participated in 4 mock battles. Burnt about 50 gallons of gas. Jesse.
