A Pitts 12, a homebuilt with a Russian radial engine. It jumped off the runway like it was being chased by the IRS.
Followed by a Citabria.
This is a fixed-gear Lancair or a Glasair. It seems foolish to me to spend 3,000 hours or so building an airplane like this and not tie it down for an overnight stay, but that's just my opinion.
A nice Cessna 170.

Great pics, Comrade!
Yes, great pics! Back in about 1972, right after high school, I got a job as the radio girl at the tiny local air portin Kansas I wore a snazzy burgundy uniform of hiphuggers and white shirt and ran out to signal the planes off the runway to the taxiway. I gave airport advisory or winds and such---and yes, on very windy days, I told them to land on the taxiway.
I'll never forget the stubborn Cessna pilot who refused, and when he turned he was grateful I had mustered the whole shop to grab his wing struts and hold him down, because he would surely have flipped!
He was forced, by the mechanics, to bring ME coffee, lol.
