Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    A Wingman Quiz

    This should be easy!

    Name the place and time. Name the airplane in the foreground.

    Bonus points if you can tell us what the informal nickname of this airplane was at the time, and the reason for that name.

    Shawn excluded because we know he knows the answers! Leave this for newer members...

        Looks like a certain Mustang that \'still\' belongs to a current engine builder, that also ran as \"Mr. Choppers\" at Reno 1964. The picture must be Mojave 1978.

        Are those jello containers over the guns? Why yes. Yes, I think they are.

        And you have to love the C-133 in the background. Those were the best part of the Mojave races. Both of them are still there, pushed out into the weeds after the Foundation for Airborne Relief fizzled, and the plan to turn them into \'flying hospitals\' went belly-up--no pun intended.

          I always wondered how jello shots were invented, now I know..........

            Great answer Jim -- though it was 1979...

                Well, obviously jello molds are more aerodynamic (in a fish-scale kind of way) than soup ladels, so based on that and the fact that Bob Love was at the stick I have to give the edge to Hovey\'s Mustang over a Supe-stock Mustang in a head to head race.


                NO SUPE FOR YOU!!!!
