        Ken,

        Thanks for the photos. Keep them coming. Any of the Thunder Mustangs (complete or in-progress) at John Parker's cave would be very welcome. That's George Giboney's very fast (sleeper) Thunder taxiing behind Relentless. Have you seen Commander Bill's silver one with the black/red lightning stripe around?

        Need more pics...!

          I suddenly felt so unworthy...I'll get a few more up...hopefully before dinner...BRB

          I met the young Steve today, and I was quite impressed. Me thinks the 'Witch' is going to be in mighty fine hands.





          Enjoy

            Well the only pics we got were with my wife's cell phone and my daughter's point-n-shoot, because I forgot to put the memory card back into my camera.

            I will say that there's nothing as sweet smelling as sagebrush wafting in on the wind, especially when air racing noise is being played as the background.


            I'll get some pics up tomorrow. I crutched around quite a bit today, and I'm bushed.

              I had the opportunity to walk through the Thunder Mustang hanger and take pix, however Mr. Parker said "no internet". I'm not going to disrespect his wishes but I tell you things are very impressive there.

              Here's a couple from today.

                  Hahaha, Strega makes that Viper look ugly, un-sexy, and cheap. Attagirl.

                    I'm going to tell 'Tiger' Bill that you said that about his Viper....but you are totally right though. Strega wins hands down over the Viper even on a bad day.

                        Awright, I got my daughter to load the pics into the computer, so I'll do my best to get them into these posts.
                        Bear with me,as I'm still a bit of a Luddite when it comes to these damned computers.

                        This is a test to see if my resizing will work.

                          Seems okay, so here are some more. I encouraged my daughters to try and get some different angles than everyone else, and they came up with a couple of interesting looks.

                          On a side note: I was resting my aching right hip in the Sport Class hangar before the briefing, and Tiger and Stevie Hinton walked in, smiling, joking, and laughing. Watching Hinton as he walked through the hangar gave me an eerie sense of how much (at least from the angle I had) he looks and moves like Howrd Hughes did. Nothing implied, but that was the impression I got whilst sitting there.

                              A couple is two.

                              You posted four.

                              Take two of 'em back.

                              Thanks for ramp shots!

                                I had a chance to talk to Steve jr. today and he is a really nice kid.

                                I asked him if he was racing this year and he said no. Just getting time on the course and he may race next year.

                                From what I saw they were playing follow the leader with Stu today and flew slow and steady around the course. So slow that Dago lapped them twice in four laps.

                                Was great to hear the motors running though. Dago sounds mean!!
