NC Airfest/Grass Valley

[GRNDP51]

They held a pretty good show this year. Got to see Sparky and Merlins Magic as well as the new thunder mustang (blue with white and grey) make two high speed low passes and it looked like a beautiful plane. I'll post pictures of the show in a few days. Have a good rest of your weekend.

Is that the one that has been buzzing around Stead the last couple of weeks?

If it looks a little like this, then yes. Fred has been working off the hours so he can take his Thunder Mustang home to the Bay Area.

Looks like the one!
Blue 2 is up now and then but is pretty distinctive with the white bottom.
This other one has been around for a few weeks now, actually flying a LOT but is usually too far away or high to get a good look at it, except for one pass this past weekend where we got a good look.
Thanks! Sorry if I went a little off topic.

Sorry if I went a little off topic.

Here, let me help with that a little... here's a shot of Brant and Sparky on take-off from the Nevada County AirFest this past weekend to get us back where we started.
