From now till the end of September is going to be a case of never ending spin cycle. I'm racing a car at the Monterey Historics in 3 weeks, but the car hasn't been on track in 20+ years. So I'm thrashing to get that sorted, will hopefully be shooting some pics at Monterey, then Reno is right around the corner. I can sleep when I'm dead right? haha

"Sponsored by My Wife". It was supposed to say "Sponsored by the City of Bellingham, WA". But they only collected a few bucks from the merchants, so....his wife won out.Quote:

Lots of new people looking for area experiences. Just a thought.Quote:

Big_Jim, Speedy, Wayne. Owe you beers too for your contributions. I better just buy a case for passing out. :beerchug:
That makes me a little sad. I think about the thousands of hours the crew put in for free when I was involved, and to think that airplane is just sitting baffles me. It sat for extended periods of time in the past and came back, maybe it will again. Time will tell.Quote:

How was access back then, could anybody walk in or did you have special access?
Such a cool time to own and fly a warbird.

And, a Mustang was thirty grand or so and you could get new in box Merlins for a thousand bucks. Avgas under a dollar a gallon -- you could definitely have some fun back then.

This thread, most certainly has morphed into almost a website of its own!
You guys know, we have a gallery functionality here on the board, unfortunately, between trying to live to 150, and dealing with daily reality, darned if I've dug in and figured out how to present it to you's guys and Ladies!
I'm still banking on only having to foot 1/2 the overall server bill by grabbing a partner or two, as well as trying to get some more current AIR RACE NEWS content! And generating some nice interesting adverts due to the updated contend!
Do you guys want to love Fred Telling as much as I do?
I got a chance to talk with him BRIEFLY at PRS, only took me about a minute and I was hugging him!
Want more?

And, looking at your shot, there is so much in that. Really nice shot capturing the racers.
