Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    Any racers at Stead yet?

    Hey guys, my family and I ranch over here south of Elko, Nevada. I've been gone the past couple of days, but my dad saw what he thought was a racer fly over head yesterday, heading west. He said it was at a really high altitude, appeared to be yellow, sounded like a radial, and was really moving!! He was thinking a Sea Fury. I was curious if this was 232.

    Any sightings at Stead yet? Man, I can't wait!!!!

    It could have been "Ole Yeller (Bob Hovers ex-plane) out of St. George,UT.?

      Is the Lewis Sea Fury 911 (formerly Mike Brown's September Pops) still yellow?

        No September Pops is not yellow anymore. It wears a Cuban scheme now.

        And 232 doesn't have much in the way of yellow on it anymore (maybe in the flames).

          This is what Sept. Pops looks like now.

            2-3-2 is now red and white (see my icon )...last time it had any yellow (other than a tiny part of the flame job) was in 2008 with the wings in yellow primer.

              And I sincerely hope that no racers are attempting to enter Stead airspace right now with the overflow smoke from the CA rimfires fogging everything up...unless the winds have diverted.

                When did John Bagley move Ole Yeller out of Idaho Falls down to St. George?

                  Whoops!!. 232 was the first Sea Fury that came to mind when I heard it was yellow or possibly red, a radial, and cooking right along. Guess I'm just really anxious for race week

                      All I know is that "Ole Yeller" & the "Mormon Mustang" has/was in a hanger along with an L model observation plane & he has had it on display at the Western Warbird doings a couple of times along with "Section Eight" This is at the St. George,Ut airport.

                        If it was red, radial, and fast...2-3-2. If it has yellow, radial, and fast...BEAR??? I has yellow on the underside of the wings as part of the 'candy-corn' paint job.

                        Still, I would be shocked if any of the big boy racers were headed there THIS soon...and there's still the smoke to deal with...

                          Who knows, perhaps Miss Merced has come out of hiding? Doubtful but who knows?

                            Now THAT I'd like to see. This is a special one (ok MORE special one) and it sure would be nice to see some of the former combatants show up.
