Re: What da Focke??

I just hope that the FW isn't a replay of Alan Preston entering the Flight Magic A6M Zero 15 years or so ago...with absolutely no intention of bringing it or racing it, but doing it so they could get a space in the pits to park their rv and party.

I seem to recall RARA not being too happy with that move. More than a few fans, too....

Re: What da Focke??

Looks like there may be plenty of extra pit stall parking available this year at Reno (-unless that gets used-up by the six P-38s IF they show up & don't get spotted down over at the east end of the ramp w/all the display aircraft)

I also hope we dont have a replay of the last luftwaffe fighter that was entered.

I hear FW-190's are much easier to land though

Re: What da Focke??

Wasn't there another CASA there since the Beal incident? I remember Skip flew one.
I don't care if the bronze becomes a warbird exhibition. For my part, this is the only show I get to make, presently, and the more types, the better! You can't tell me that Tom Camp ever expects the Wildcat to be competitive, but he brings it every year and runs it around the sticks and I am greatly appreciative of him for it.
What I would like (and I am just one small voice, a tool of the univers, ah, make that "instrument" of the universe) is to see more of the warbird demo acts like in the past. Merle's Corsair, The Super Corsair, the Sea Fury smokewinder, Hoover's Mustang. Lots of other shows do it and that is not what Reno is, but heck, there are lots of people flying warbirds doing mild acro shows. Just like to see a warbird doing more than going low and fast.

Re: What da Focke??

I agree Leo.

I would take "The Horsemen" over a weekend with the T-birds, Angels, and Snowbirds all together.

"The Horsemen" in Tigercats

Back to the subject... I hear the FW is still having overheating problems...

"The Horsemen" in Tigercats

Shwiiiiing!

I'll be happy just to see the FW fly in. Same with the P-38's. i've seen two on the course, the most I've ever seen together. So 3 or 4 just flying in the same air will make me a happy little camper.

Re: What da Focke??

The Horsemen really do need to put on their show at the Reno Air Races. I don't understand why they haven't been on the airshow bill there yet, as their act would be perfect for this venue-no matter what their choice of planes. Bring these guys to the air races, PLEASE!

Wow, I wasn't aware of this aerobatic group.
I would love to see them over any of the jet-set performers!

Wow, I'm really happy that the FW190 is at Stead now

Re: What da Focke??

The FW-190 looked a little shakey on the landing but is on the ramp. Big Bossmans name got translated to "El Jefe" with a new image.
