They were flying around yesterday, and I just heard him fly by again. He's sounding fast.
The sweet sound of what's about to graze our skies.

Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
Sweeeet! Looking forward to it! The Bear has been hibernating.......he may be angry now that he's awake!"I'd keep playing.....I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while now" -
Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
The Bear always has a nasty habit of having "issues" right until the last minute. Any updates on what they may be working on right now?"America is all about speed...hot, nasty, bada** speed."

Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
This is the first time in years that I've heard they have had it flying well before last minute qualifying. If its flying now, that likely means its ready to race now. In my book, thats a good thing since it won't be a last minute thrash to get the thing on the course and get a time. Is there still work to be done? Yeah, no doubt, but its awake and about far earlier than normal.

Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
Where's the Bears den when it's not racing at Reno? Does it spend it's life in a hangar at Stead? How frequently is it flown during the rest of the year? Does it attend air shows or does it stay in its den, too costly/high strung to fly...?Last edited by SkyvanDelta; 09-07-2011, 01:02 PM.Comment

Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
Yest that is American Spirit / Cornell racer in the background.
Bear is based at Stead and flies whenever is needed for system tests or dust needs to be blown off.Comment

Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
It's good to see them ahead of the game this year, and not having problems at the last minute. Hope it stays that way.

Agreed...it's about time that those guys had a less stressful year than usual."America is all about speed...hot, nasty, bada** speed."

Re: The Bear in Up And Sounding Good
The last couple of months Bear has been up often and sounding pretty nice! Always nice when you are shooting something else like air tankers and a Bear slips in!
