  • Kinda sorta off-topic

    Every year, the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, ID puts on a great warbird round-up with some amazing planes.

    This year, Stevo and Voodoo will be there!

    Join us for our 21st annual Warbird Roundup August 12 and 13! The Warbird Roundup is Idaho’s largest 2-day gathering of historic war planes.


    Anyone gonna make the trip?

    I plan on being there both days!

    Interesting !! Wasn't there talk about them trying to increase the record speed. That's fairly close to where the record set last year. I wonder if they're going for another record. Also in the vicinity of Stead, I wonder if Voodoo will be at Stead, even though it's not slated to race, yet.

      No record attempt. Bob is in possession of both race engines.

          That's the plan!!! I don't know if I will get any good air shots as they fly a ways away from the crowd...but I know a spot...it would mean I have to leave the museum to get them.

          I should get some good ground shots though.

            Yesterday 8/23 my son and me were in the back yard around noon and we hear "that sound", he looks up and says, 2 mustangs, heading NNE to Idaho. Right over the house. One was Voodoo and the other one Wee Willey?

              I'm not sure which one. According the their website:

              We’ve added a Grumman TBM Avenger and Grumman F7F Tigercat to our Warbird Roundup lineup!
              Lineup also includes: Seven P-51 Mustangs including Voodoo, Six T-6 Texans, Five P-40s, P-47 Thunderbolt Dottie Mae, NA-50

              Should be a good show for sure. I don't ever remember them having one this big.

              The Warhawk Air Museum is home to my favorite P-51, "Boise Bee."

                Guaranteed, POF sent all their planes over yesterday. And I don’t think any other Mustangs are attending from CA. With 7 it’s Wee Willy and V, Boise Bee and Blood Brother, Hell ‘er Bust, and probably Straw Boss... last one could be Speedball, Blondie, Lady Jo...

                    Looks like it is going to be an awesome show! I need to make it out there one of these years.

                      Here are some shots from today. The weather was perfect and so were the planes!

                      There was a presentation from "Bud" Anderson as well as Steve Hinton. Surprisingly, there was a big focus on Reno and the races. Stevo took Voodoo up and did a few laps around a simulated course. They also did a simulated race flight with the other planes that had flown at Reno before. Like I said, I was surprised by the large Reno presence and hosts were talking it up!

                      Stevo's presentation was about his racing career and the changes they made to Voodoo over the years. The videos and pics they showed during the slide show were pretty awesome!

                      Voodoo had a stocker in it, but who cares!

                      My 10 year old son decided he wanted to play photographer today so all the pics are from him, and it was his first time!

                      ETA: Sorry if there are multiples as I can't keep track. I;m sure I will find some others to post cause he took over 500 photos in 5 hours!!!

                      Enjoy!Click image for larger version
