Blue Angels try to out-maneuver The Chuting Eagles

The Blue Angels put on a very impressive show, but we're not certain that their act is any more difficult... Faster, yes, but rumor has it that The Chuting Eagles have flown in a similar formation. Unfortunately, we don't have any proof!

Chuting Eagles Perform at The Great State of Maine Air Show

The Chuting Eagles had a great practice run over the Blue Angels last night. They are scheduled to perform Friday night at 6pm, Saturday morning at 9:20am and will be on standby Sunday. Come on out to see a great show!

Practice for the Air Show

The Chuting Eagles camped out at Merry Meeting Airport in Bowdoinham Wednesday night for their last practice run before the Great State of Maine Airshow at Brunswick Naval Air Station. Weather prevented them from doing their complete show in the evening, but they managed to put on a great act Thursday morning.Mike, John & Rob take off to practice their Chuting Eagles Routine

Chuting Eagles to Perform at The Great State of Maine Air Show

The Chuting Eagles Flight Demonstration Team is in the final stages of preparing for their routine at the Brunswick Naval Air Station as a part of the Great State of Maine Airshow. Weather permitting, the trio will perform Friday, September 5th around 6pm.

Last year's weather proved to be challenging for the team as continuous rain dampened the entire event, so we're hoping for clear skies this time!

Just Flying Around

John managed to take off from his new runway - and his end cells were fully inflated before he lifted off the ground!

Yes, it happens on this blog too - sometimes we just run out of stuff to talk about!

The Adventure Trip Comes to an End ~ Lewiston, Maine

After the last flight of the Adventure Trip, we all loaded up in the planes for one last breakfast together.The pilots were taking it easy after breakfast, reminiscing about their flights across the White Mountains... or were they planning the next Adventure Trip? Who knows! Maybe they were just pretending to be busy while the ground crew packed up for the last time...
But wait! The ground crew was busy relaxing as well!!

The whole gang - we actually had to pay each other to force the smiles as we were really tired by the end. Actually, parting ways was bitter sweet - we were all ready to go home but sad to see the Adventure come to an end. Until next year, gang!

Thank you to all of our hosts and hostesses (both planned and unplanned!), the great people we met along the way and to all those who participated in the Adventure Trip. Also, a special thank you to our star photographers Darlene, Jerry & Ray and to John for having such a hair-brained idea that, with a lot of hard work, became a reality.
