Re: Rare Bear on tv.
Yes, KOLO (www.kolotv.com). Maybe they'll put the clip on their site -- or if they don't, maybe they will if asked nicely by a few hundred fans (hint hint). Decent stuff, hangar shots with new skin, some file air-to-air. Cornell said with luck they might even spin a prop this weekend . . .
Local news is cool when it includes air racing

Re: Rare Bear on tv.
Wow.. wish I could have seen that interview with Dave!!
I think it's safe (permitted) to say, at this point, the desired paint will not get applied before RENO.. As of now, I believe she's all white, waiting to fly...
More may be added but we're all gonna be witness to part of the history of the Bear this year!
A TON of people and a TON of effort have gone into her to get her flyable after a MAJOR teardown and rebuild...
Clock's not done counting down,
Please Oh Air Race Gods, let us see a healthy Bear on the ramp come Monday race week!!!
Cudos (or is it, Kudos, I can never remember) to the crew for MANY VERY LONG DAYS/NIGHTS work to get her where she is today!!

Re: Rare Bear on tv.
Now that the 'Bear-Cat' is out the hanger so to speak, on my next trip to the 'Bear Cave' I will take my camera and ask about taking a few photos to post. Also, in watching the news this morning...there is a chance that the plane will fly next week!! If I don't get out there before the week finishes, I'll make a special trip on Saturday or Sunday depending on how things go.

Re: Rare Bear on tv.
I watch KOLO news almost every night and every morning EXCEPT last night and this morning (at work too early). D*mn.
I'll be listening for that rumble in the sky!
Go Bear!

Re: Rare Bear on tv.
I hardly ever get home in time to watch the evening news...and the 11PM news didn't really have all that much, but this mornings news showed more video and parts of the interview. Hard to imagine that they are so close after all the work that has been done. And they are hoping for a flight perhaps early next week!!
