I miss the days of racing the Grumman F-85 and the North American P-57! -

I love their description of unlimited pylon racing, where you had to slow down from "350 mph to 150 mph" to fly around a pylon. A Mustang would almost fall out of the sky at that speed in a steep banked turn (unless Mr. Hoover was piloting it, that is...
)
Other than those silly errors, it WAS good reading. Thank you for sharing it.Last edited by AirDOGGe; 09-27-2011, 06:53 PM.Comment
