Blue Thunder II July 2009 Update

[AAFO_WSagar]

Sad news and good news for Blue Thunder II.. Blue II Crew Member Bill Grant was lost in an accident last month and the Blue Crew has been struggling to get past the unfortunate cart racing accident that cost Bill his life...

With that said..

Though not mentioned in this report, due to John and team's extremely limited time constraints.. We recieved a report from John earlier this week, indicating that they have tested BTII's engine.. No further "official" reports beyond this but... Things have moved ahead, as Bill Grant would want them to and we're pleased to post a link to the "official" July installment of the BT2 progress report on their website.. http://www.bluethunderairracing.com/home.htm

As always, this airplane is a fan sponsored effort, there is a link there, even one dollar helps the effort! When you get to Reno, PLEASE stop by the American Air Racing hangar and let John, Jan and the entire crew know how much you appreciate the time, effort and sacrifice that they put forth to bring a competitor to the races at RENO, the home of the "World's Fastest Motorsport"...

Man, That's bittersweet news indeed. Thoughts and prayers to the BTII team, but especially to Bill's family. It will be fitting if John and the team can persevere through this tragedy and score a gold win in Bill's memory. God speed and blue skies Bill, your dedication and time spent with the team will not be forgotten.................Troy White
