Re: Heat Race
It's sad to think that 4 of the people in that second photo are no longer with us. Aviation on the edge can be an unforgiving business... -
Re: Heat Race
Rick Brickert's routine in that T-33 was one of the most beautiful shows I have ever seen. Just his flying and some patriotic music.Comment

Re: Heat Race
Was it Steve? I thought it would be Kevin Eldridge at that point (the 1992 Denver Race). I'll have to look that up.
I kind of thought Steve's last race was John Paul's P-40 about 1990. I guess I have to look that up too.

Re: Heat Race
I think you're right. Steve's accident in the Miles & Atwood replica during the filming of "The Rocketeer" was in 1990. Perhaps he ran Spud Lag at Denver that summer?Originally posted by wingman View PostComment

Re: Heat Race
It turns out that it was Steve Hinton in the airplane for that Heat Race (and he won). Eldridge flew it on Sunday. Steve also qualified it, and shared pace plane duties that weekend with Rick.
