    What a site to see this afternoon at Stead. The crew from P of F, The Bob Pond Museum,Vicky Brenzy all flew down from Chino. The sound is a one a kind and for them all to be on the deck was the cherry onto the ice cream

          As of tonight all but Speedball, Sparky/Blondie, and the H model are at Stead for the Unlimited group. Seems like that Nut Tree crew will head over together in the AM.

          Some cool notes, the P-40 has the water tank in the backseat and capped off gun ports - I think that's the first time I've seen a P-40 with capped gun ports.

          Miss Marvel's "69" font is exactly like Georgia Mae's. The plane looks pretty sweet.

          Both the Yaks look (and sound) amazing.

          Glad to have some really beautiful stockers like Lady Jo and Swamp Fox on the ramp as well.

          And lastly, not racing but one of the highlights was Bernie Vasquez unexpectedly bringing the freshly restored razorback Republic P-47D 'Bonnie'. I would assume Thunderbird will still make it's way over next week.

          Gonna be some FANTASTIC racing from Bronze to Gold, along with some really nice statics mixed in.

            Boise Bee is local to me and it’s my most favorite mustang! I can’t wait to see it again! It’s simply stunning!

              Any word on if Rod Lewis will bring the Connie to Reno? Saw it did some flying yesterday down at Chino.

                P-51H and Sparky/Blondie arrived together. Not sure about Speedball, but she’s the last one on the list.

                      The Connie's low pass was something not soon forgotten! It is an incredibly gorgeous aircraft in every respect.

                        Nope. Already left after just a few hours. RARA told them they didn't have room for them.

                          I had to stop my car immediately when I ran in to Stead this afternoon, not one minute too late... https://youtu.be/VAaXzj48tBk
