Excellent. The color's gone a little past the freshness date, but still excellent.

The quality of the video is completely lost on you tube. The original (which is probably 3rd generation vhs) looks much better on my TV.

Thanks to "Octane" for putting it up on the web for all to view.

Still my favorite racer

Wonder what it would take to get the N9M to fly to/at Reno one year.

Provided the plane has been rebuilt after the engine fire and is cleared for flight.
