          Wait...there's a boat in there? All I saw was a big honkin V-12.

            You want another "Downed Pilot" story?

            Air Racing owes allot of its heritage to the Unlimited Hydro's.

              Thanks, Bob.
              The only thing better than the clip was to be down in the park, not only to SEE them, but to HEAR them. The sound was so sweeeeet.

                You were THAT close and you didn't come look me up?

                If you make it to Seattle this weekend, come find me in the U-48 pit.

                  That's pretty thin ice you're skatin' on, there, jacket-boy.

                    Hey Speedy,
                    Didn't say I was in the park. I was up on the road, where I could see and hear them just fine.
                    Won't be in Seattle for the boats, but will be in Kelso with Warbirds. Big group of Canadians coming down, even Mr Janes has a reservation. Should be fun.

                        Actually, at this point, he won't. He moved and RARA can't find him.

                        I'm helping them rectify that.

                            If I had to guess, the motors in those restored boats are non airworthy.

                              That'd be a pretty good guess.

                              In fact, how it typically works is that when we (the boat racers) find parts that ARE airworthy, we trade them to people like Sparrow or Yancey for non-airworthy parts. Just ask Tiger. The stock Merlin he'll be running at Reno? Yeah...that was a bone-stock Merlin that we found still in the wax coating. Traded it to Sparrow for a couple of non-airworthy, but perfectly boat-worthy engines.

                              But, you know...some people just don't see it that way.
