WOW.
You got the whole plane just outside and under the pylon barrel.

Nice shot as always Vic! That is one cool looking bird. I also found it interesting that on Monday morning I saw it depart in formation with a T-6 instead of in a trailer like most of the F1 planes.

Steve Temple bases the airplane at Minden, NV, just S of Carson City so using the trailer is unneccessary.

If I remember right, "Bummers Bullet" was sold and then crashed killing it's new owner.

That is probably the one Jon Sharp owned for a while.

The announcers said something about his crew renaming it in a secret squirrel mission at night.

Jan, at last count he had broken three props, that could do it.

King, correct on Bummer's, and Shawn, yes, it was a twin to Geronimo/Madd Maxx/Mac Daddy/Maddness...

Re: Madness around the pylons!!!

This airplane was built by Robert Boyd and is aerodynamically similar but structurally different to Bummer's Bullet which was built by Robbie Grove.
