      Number 1 and then number 5 would be my preference. Nice work, Victor.

        The original purple, gold, and white was very tasteful. See earlier posting.

            Wow, nice stuff Victor. Something about #5 really catches my eye. #1 is also cool, a bit of the old with a bit of the ... older.

              #5 gets my vote

              flowing lines and rounded surfaces just "LOOK FAST" to me

              NICE work Mr. Archer

              what will it look like from the ground? (bottom/ top view)

                I like #5 the best but would look for a new and very attractive scripted lettering for "Rare Bear" on the big gold cowl.

                A return, with a twist, of the Mustang eating Bear on the tail might be nice if a little smaller than the original. Maybe with a Sea Fury in the other paw.

                Maybe something like that belongs on the cowl?



                I'll welcome a very fast and well prepared Bear back into Sunday's Gold, but ultimately it, and the other roundies, won't have a GHOST of a chance this year!

                  I herd a couple rumors from a couple different sources that there's a good possibility that four or so of the fastest V-Powered birds are not going to make it to Reno. But you know how pre-season BS goes.

                    In regards to the "GHOST" being mentioned would that be the old "Galloping Ghosts" return
                    & flown by non-other than Jimmie Leeward? Hope so.

                          It can be bare aluminum and primer for all I care, just as long as it stays together and flys FAST!

                            Ooooh, maybe you hit on something there, Leo.

                            Anyone remember what Bud Fountain's plane looked like when they buffed off the anodized finish and polished the metal????

                              yep.
                              With all the filler that's probably been on her over the years I would expect the skin would'nt be easy (if at all possible) to polish. I can imagine re-skinning would be expensive to say the least and would it actually be slower without the fillers?
                              Would look AWESOME though!
