Jim Leroy's New Bulldog II for the 2007 Airshow season

These are the pictures of Jim & Joan & now (Tommy also) Leroy's new Bulldog II and a few pics of his 2nd and 3rd test flights down in the nice warm skies of Zellwood Florida, home of Jim Kimball Enterprises Inc. who put in countless hours to come up with this one of a kind custom aerobatic Pitts. The work these guys do was just incredible, definatly a Grand Champion Winner at Oshkosh if it were to ever enter. Bulldog II like Bulldog I has many unique modifications like a glass cockpit which actually will talk to Jim in flight if there were any un-normal readings in the engine parameters, also the wings and tails have larger flight controls to maximize control while Jim is performing those 9+G manuvers! One of the more unique features to Bulldog II is its mystic paint job, Kevin Kimball sprayed a pearl on top of the yellow base and it jumps out at ya in the bright sun light, it will make for a very picturestic airplane at all airshows!! For more info on the builders please visit: http://www.jimkimballenterprises.com/ and to see when Jim Leroy and his awesome new machine will be in your neighborhood next please visit: http://www.bulldogairshows.com/ Thanks to the Leroy family for inviting us down for vacation and to Kevin at Kimball Enterprises for letting me hang out while Jim's flight tests were being performed, it was a real treat to see how a talented group of guys could turn a pile of parts into show plane like this!! Hopefully Jims next will be a two seater so we can get rides HA HA!!
