Re: Rare Bear

Thank very much to all of you guys. Now I have it. I did not considered the electric hydraulic mule.

Re: Rare Bear

Here's another photo of the gear. If there is an area that you like a more detailed picture of, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hey Lonnie: Can you do a thread to chronicle what trim paint went on on the Bear on which days? Kinda interesting to see how various trim lines and markings were done through the week. I noticed that there were no crew names on the gear doors on Sunday AM, but they were there by race time for the Gold. That would be fun and would contribute to community geekiness. Tailwinds, Peas

Re: Rare Bear

I'll have to take a look at my pictures and see what I've got. The landing gear doors were done during the final crunch before the Gold race. I was there when the artist finished up the left gear door.

Polyethylene. I remember taking a few spares to a place that retreads forklift tires back in 2005.

Well, the world didn't end, so might as well go back to the beginning and start over...

Solid, like the tail wheel on a Grumman S-2.

Re: Rare Bear

Historical documents are timeless: thanks to those who captured it and to those who brought it back. I remember the days of Phast Phoenix and the Mustang-crusher on the fin. The 4-blade to 3-blade and back to 4 evolution. Yet I'd never seen the all white scheme. Love it! Kinda reflects on Smirnoff and Conquest 1 . Looks VERY elegant in the all white.
Anyone else like the one-year white and green theme? But that all white looks REALLY good.
