Didn't someone post a while back about him naming it "Goldfinger"? Sure fits that paint!

Was sposed to be there this year. Maybe too busy engaging in his court hobby to come.

No, it's not going to be a full on racer. Just a stocker.

Wow! It's been many years since anybody made a race plane out of a Warbird!

That hasn't happened since Micky Rupp changed his "Old Crow" to the "Samurai Mustang".

Except that Risky Business has more history as a racer than a warbird. I have to wonder how long it will stay a stocker before he decides he wants to go fast?

Re: N35FF

thats is just great news, maybe 2016 will be the turning point.

Polished aluminum and gold will be sexy, especially if he compliments it with some pin-up art that fits the name "Risky Business".

Re: N35FF

It's pretty exciting ..

Low-profile canopy would look outstanding.. Like Precious Metal (Merlin one) had, when it was accented with the gold trim, and spinner I believe! Risky wore one for a while too..

I keep thinking the same thing and looking ahead. Steadfast, Risky, possibly Furias or Merced, maybe Dago, 232 and Czech mate back? More stockers? And the blue Angels!! This year will be fun but the future looks brighter too

Re: N35FF

Furias, PM, Dago all need major work, odds would be against them if they started tomorrow. PM would have the best chance as they have the motivation.

232 needs a new owner.

Czech Mate I have my fingers crossed.
Miss Merced I had heard Eric was racing T-6 this year so hopefully.............

Need to start advertising Air Racing as Simple, Cheap and Easy.......

Or as a quick way to make a million bucks, just leave out the part about starting with 10 million.

I think these are all planes that have the potential to come back it's just the future of Reno is holding them back. None of these are out of the question as never coming back at this point and that's what I like thinking. If this year is safe and successful and some more promotion occurs over the off season, 2016 has the chance to be a very special year for Reno, Unlimiteds specifically.

I'd love to see RFNACM make a return.
