Since it was Friday practice, they practiced some low show maneuvers (EPIR and Low BB). Here is the belly side of the EPIR.

Nice pictures!

The Outer Left was a two-seater with 2 pilots on board?

Interesting. Does perhaps someone know, why?

Not sure if there is a back seater, as it's hard to tell from that shot. However the #6 aircraft is going through what we aircraft maintainers call Phase Inspection. Every so many flight hours, we have to take the aircraft apart and look for any problems that could occur in the future. It just happens that the #6 aircraft was having a 2400 flying hour inspection that week.

"Tonka" was flying a D model on Friday with someone in the back seat, however, he was flying a C model on Saturday and Sunday.
