Thunder Mustangs-just visiting

[Lowell]

Has anyone got the tally on the visiting Thunder Mustangs this year at John's Thunderstorm 2007?

Just wondering if maybe any of the following showed up:

N51WY

N451KC

N77TM

Any photos of any visiting ThM's welcome including the project plane in John's hangar, N251GA.

Any progress reports on Swede's Steed III or others about done also appreciated.

Thanks!

as i was leaving work today (kvny) i saw cloudchaser427 take off to the north, i'm assuming it was his thunder mustang based on the unique paint. this was at about 4:00 pm so he should be there by now if that's where he was headed.

N51WY is here (Tony's)
N151WR is here (Solo's)
N251RG has always been here, is complete and ready for taxi tests (Ron's)
N51DY should arrive tomorrow (Malcolm's)
N51TG Will not make it, (Gaston's)
N151G Will not make it, (Giboney's)
N77TM not sure what the Commader's plans are
N451KC discussed coming out but no further plans were made so doubtful (Campbell's)

Stinky Chris pointed out a typo. N251RG should be N251GA. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Thunder Mustangs-just visiting

Thank you Bill.

I haven't seen any photos of Tony's yet. Is Ron DeBlack's airplane painted? If Jim S. has any snapshots with him of Swede's Steed III maybe see if someone can take a digital photo of a photo and post.

Has Kenny got his painted yet?

Whose ThM is expected to be the next flyer?

So many questions...so many miles away!

Re: Thunder Mustangs-just visiting

I'll take some pics of Tony's and the painted DeBlack's. I'll ask Jim about Swede's.

Kenny's is painted and flying. You can see it and Commando Bill's on this page: http://www.kiwithunder.com/news_&_events.htm

I think DeBlack's will be the next flyer. It is ready for taxi tests and basically ready to go.

Re: Thunder Mustangs-just visiting

That was my bad above.

I asked Jim about Swede's. It will be going into final assembly in the next couple of months then system tests. It should fly early next year and should be displayed at Reno in 2008.

Re: Thunder Mustangs-just visiting

Just too impatient I guess, but somebody please post some pics of the Tony Andrews Thunder Mustang, and the new Ron DeBlack Thunder built at AAR that will soon be taxi testing?
