Re: how many f1 are coming to reno

I know who Don Beck is, but I can't place that aircraft for the life of me.

Re: how many f1 are coming to reno

FWIW, I have the wing to Don Beck's F-1 Gnat.

Maybe not as historic, I would guess allot might not know who Don Beck was?

That wing should be back in the air.

Looks like it ran a 224 back in 1980, not bad.

I remember Don Beck. He flew the Sorceress back in the day.

I agree that your wing should be back in the air and on the course. I personally love the old historic racers and like it when they can strut their stuff again.

Sorceress - now that's one I'd like to see again!

It's in the Smithsonian now. Pretty cool that it ended up there. Although, it would be pretty neat to see it kicking some biplane butt out on the course again.

That's just a standard III wing, isn't it?

Re: how many f1 are coming to reno

Don Beck's Cassutt #18 "Gnat" was built by Larry Jensen in the early 1970's. It was later renamed "Miss USA" by Don in 1980, when he replaced the stock Cassutt wing with the Owl/Cassutt wing currently on the racer.

Looks like it ran a 224 back in 1980, not bad.

This is with the Owl wing, not the slab. The racer became #40 when acquired by Patti Johnson (to match the race # of her biplane), and is still active.

Re: how many f1 are coming to reno

Pogo (N8787) is still around. It may be the only complete OWL left.

Someone needs to dust that baby off and bring it to the races!

Re: how many f1 are coming to reno

I've got a new Owl fuselage here in Midland. Phillip, you need to come get it and put it under that wing of yours. ;-)
