Damn straight!

Congrats Fred. You now know about the Bushmaster, your plane has flown... I guess the only thing left is to get a race number and a cool camera set-up and go racing. Oh hey......

Looks like #57 or #51 on the wing tip.

Re: Miss Picabo

Race 51 would be correct...There is a long list of "I will race it"!!!!

Re: Miss Picabo

As Jim mentioned, it's race 51.
Oh, Bill... there's a whole pile of us that now know about the Bushmaster.

Re: Miss Picabo

Glad to hear your son enjoyed sitting in Picabo.. To us sharing aviation with the younger generation is half the fun!!! Of course the other half is winning or setting records with Blue Thunder...see ya at the races

Re: Miss Picabo

I think this thunder mustang has one of the best paint jobs of almost any airplane out there. Awesome to see her in the air!

Re: Miss Picabo

Talking about Thunder Mustangs, any word on the one that crashed last year, sorry, I can't remember the gentlemans name. Is he rebuilding or going to build another one?

Re: Miss Picabo

Nice ride. Does the fact that it already has a race number mean we will be seeing it at PRE this year?

George Giboney is the pilot you're referring too, and he is just fine. The airplane was not rebuildable per say, and he has no plans at this point to start another major project like that right now. I'm sure he will be at Reno this year ~ walking (grin).
