Over 500 views and no one knows anything?

Where are all big time air race experts?

I heard awhile back that she sold, to an undisclosed new owner. Of course that is internet-based intel, so bring the appropriately sized salt grain...

From what I heard on the same rumor chain, is that the deal fell through...

That makes sense, I heard from a very reliable source it was sold, now crickets.

Re: 232 News?

Geez, I remember when the rumors used to be so much better. People would drink and then log onto the internet and spew all kinds of madness about who, what, when and where. Then they would say somebody else told them all of this, and that person would show up and call them some sort of obscure insult that only about 6 people understood. But from what I heard from a guy....

Now that Hoot is in Strega, Tiger is actually going to be flying 232, just to show off that it's the pilot, not the plane that wins races. It should be an interesting race, since Thom sold PM to Rod Lewis so he can go back to IF1. PM is going to get renamed "Flashback" and Steve Sr is going to actually be racing her. Greenamyer will be in Czechmate and Voodoo will be getting a Griffon for this year's run. All the Seafuries are being retrofitted with carbon fiber airframes and The Bear will have a group of untested mods installed a few days before the races to ensure higher performance. The Jet class is being dropped to give room in the schedule for the new Super Cub class, and Honey Boo Boo will be this year's "Race Queen" to help draw in a bigger outside audience. Coke and Captain Morgan's are going together and debuting a new product called "Pit Crew" during the weekend of the races. The FAA will also have a fleet of drones patrolling showlines with "Shoot to kill" orders for any cuts so as to protect the other racers or some sort of endangered mammal that lives in the weeds near a pylon or something.

I'm pretty sure this is all true, because a buddy of mine's cousin who once saw a Corsair at an airshow said it was.....but what has everybody else heard?

Where's Sani_Hut when you need him?

Re: 232 News?

I just heard from a VERY unreliable source that 232 is being turned to a TF-51. And yes I have been drinking.

Re: 232 News?

Now this is true. While on Flight Radar24 earlier today I did track a Mig 17 N968 flying around Henderson,NV & then it headed East & off the screen. It was at around 13,000 ft travelling about 276K. Lo & behold N968 says it belongs to Thom Richards unless he sold it. Very interesting. How is he going to get it in the F1 races?

Thats funny, I heard that the same cousin also stated that you are chaperoning Honey Boo and her mom to the RARA dinner, is that true??

So what is the backstory on Sani-Hut in Air Racing?

Re: 232 News?

So what is the backstory on Sani-Hut in Air Racing?

The FAA determined that most of the injury and fatality accidents on the course have resulted from impacts on the hard surface
that exists at the ground level, so Sani-Hut has received a large federal grant to pad the course to a depth of 20 feet with a
locally-sourced, bio-degradable turf that is expected to both cushion off-field landings and deter photographers and spectators
from trespassing inside the fenceline.

Sooo...business as usual, huh?

a

Yeah, we scrape that off our shoes every time we walk in a field here.

And you all have it wrong, 232 is safely tucked away under the wing of a B-32 on the dark side of the moon.
Really, I read it online so it HAS to be true.
