Is AAFO up & running?

Re: AAFO

Re: AAFO

Yeah its running, but I don't really have anything new to add. We need more than just one person to contribute to the site. I haven't had a chance to really edit any more pics from PRS, so yeah.

I quit posting and started lurking years ago. Perhaps its time to start posting again.

Yes Tony, you need to start posting again. Like I said, I can't keep new content going alone. I just don't have enough. The other members of the community are needed.

Re: AAFO

OK, I'll post a question. Does anyone have a CURRENT list of 2022 Unlimited entrants? Please? I've seen the one from Feb.

I can give a well educated guess of what’s confirmed and rumored to be coming but it’s probably a little over a month til I can get the actual list from RARA.

I hope "Tiger" at least shows up?

Its a safe bet he'll be there, likely in the CM pit, but Strega won't.

On that note, one of the reasons we aren't seeing Voodoo or Strega might be due to a lack of rod bearings for allison rod Merlins. I've been told there aren't any more. There was one guy making them, and he pulled the plug years ago. I don't know if another manufacturer has been found to make them or not.

Does that mean Czech Mate is verified to be there this year?

Not verified, but enough sources are talking about it being there that I'd be very surprised if it weren't there, and possibly faster than ever.

At this time there is one confirmed Yak, one probable (Czech Mate) and 1 hopeful/possible (Miss Trinidad) for a total of 3. Dusty's wont be done this year, but he is hoping to be there with his beautiful A model Mustang. I think the Sunday unlimited gold is going to be a great race with two different battles going on. The podium battle between Czech Mate, Dreadnought and Miss America, then the battle for 4-5 between Rushin Thunder and Miss Trinidad (both R2000 powered Yaks.)

Whos ready for some air racing?

Re: AAFO

My officially unofficial list so far is -

Confirmed:
Miss America
Dreadnought
Rushin' Thunder
Argonaut
924G
Shanty Irish
Wee Willy II
Sweet Mary Lou
Swamp Fox
Bunny
Man 'O War
Pretty Polly

Highly Likely:
Czech Mate
Speedball Alice
Blondie
Lady B
Sweet and Lovely

Racing if Completed:
Miss Trinidad
Race 64

The only outliers are if POF races a second plane (would likely be Spam Can, but their Bearcat will also be there although I don't know who would race it), Barbara Jean (Jim Rust), and if Steve Coutches actually races something since he was at PRS. Outside of any surprises, that's the list for now.

FB has a bunch of the more active old members here... I really need to dig through my archives.. nice to see it active again right now!!!!

Another factor right now, as you know, Mark Kallio's wife is extremely ill and he has very limited time to spend out at the Miss America hangar Prayers for Kim and Mark..

[Lockheed Bob]

Re: AAFO

Yes prayers & thoughts to Mark & Kim.
