Yes she sure sounded sweet. The two F15s and the T38 were the icing on the cake.
I did hear a rumor that the foamy oil in Bear caused a motor swap? I know that in a car foamy oil is never good.

I'm pretty sure that the announcers just said that the Rare Bear isn't running the race motor right now... Can anybody confirm?

That is what I heard the announcers say also.

I talked to the guys in the Rare Bear booth this afternoon and they claimed the foamy oil situation was solved. The also said that the reason RB wasn't in the pits was because they were in the process of repairing a hole in the horizontal stabilizer due to debris kicked up from the runway.

The Bear flew in Gold Heat 2A to finish off the day and finished a fairly close 3rd but was moved up to 2nd due to a pylon cut by 2nd place finisher Voodoo (Will Whiteside). The heat was won easily by Stega while backing down on the power.
