    Re: Wingman quiz

    How about the following:

    Alan Preston in Old Deadeye #12
    J.K. Ridley in Big Richard #37
    Jimmie McMillan in Skyraider # 404

      It was 1985 -- don't know which race. I'm not totally certain about the second Corsair, but Brad's call is most likely correct.

        "Old Deadeye" had a polished nose-bowl. "Blue Max" had the white checkerboards a little farther back on the cowling.

        Bob Yancey's Corsair (not in the photo) was a lighter color blue than "Old Deadeye" and "Blue Max".

          Should have gone back and looked at some tapes...
          Yancey also had a spinner that year if I remember, and busted a canopy during a heat. I forgot about both Preston and Ridley, and Jay.
          Sigh, old-timers disease, I can't tell the players without a scorecard!
          Nice shot Neal!!

          85 was the year that the B-26 (Puss N' Boots?) passed Blue Max at the home pylon with his bomb bay doors open.

            The busted canopy was on "Old Deadeye".
