I wonder if Wildfire will be there? Anyone know of how it is progressing?

Bill Statler plans to have the wildfire hangar open during the fly in. They have been pretty consistently working weekends, we are all excited to see the airplane fly.

Hey Guys,

Records week is off to a great start. We had three record attempts on Saturday. Lee Behel attempted the 3km, 15km, and time to climb to 3000m in the Gp-5. What an awesome sounding airplane, V-8s for all!!

We have 5 more attempts scheduled this week, then the flyin on Saturday 4-19, and the awards dinner Saturday night at 6:00.

Come out and bring your experimental airplane!!

Mojave Experimenter Trophies are getting closer to being complete!!

A big thank you to the Scaled Engineers that are building them; Scott Schultz, Niki Dugue, Tanner Yaberg, and Justin Gillen.

Like Nascar in the sky! Kinda surprised it only went 372mph? Still, 372 is moving for any airplane that size!
