Problems with the Buick?

[KB Adkins]

Not trying to take away from the levity of the "rumor mill" thread below, but based on info. from another site (complete with pictures), it does appear that the reworked 4360 on the Buick is having "issues". Can anyone confirm with details? I'm trying to stay positive -- don't even want to think of going two years without seeing Dreadnaught beating up the pylons at Reno?

It would have been sweet to see THAT in the jet class...Never seen a '262 fly before, except on the telly.

Come to the Warbird Days at Paine and go visit the 262 project while you are there. John Sessions is the host. Paul Allen's collection is also there, along the the Boeing fighter resto shop..
That is coming up Sept. 25-27.The week-end after NCAR.
