Wayne knew 2 months ago... I asked him to keep it quiet - and he did. There are stand-up people out there who know how to keep secrets... then there are national inquire want-to-bee's who just love to hear their gums flap. Funny that even though I walked away from this scene some 6 years ago - the same childish BS is still occuring. Is it any wonder no one "in the know" is talking much... and why the really cool news is seldom seen or heard of anymore. Think about it

Ain't that the truth. Heck, I didn't know about the P-61 resto till two days ago! I stumbled across it in the links section of a rod & custom shop while looking for ideas for my next project. It looks like it's been going on for years now. Fascinating story.

I Hear's ya Markers... big time.. In this case tho... I think 'ol Earl was pullin' my chain to make light....

THANKS for keeping me in the loop on the Dago thing! Felt good to know what was comin, even if I hadda keep my trap shut!

And to anyone Cobra knows.. He NEVER actually DID tell me WHO!

Talk about keepin' a secret!!

Re: It's Official: Dago Red has been.........

I enjoy every comment from Mark as well.

In fact the data Mark has been contributing before 6 years ago was so accurate that it was almost scary...as Cobra was able to predict what AC will suffer inflight mishap before it actually happened..just by knowing what the crew was doing in the pits prior to the flight and what kinda spares they were using.

Anyway I also agree;...the gum flapping National Enquirer types are not very encouraging...hope I am not one them.

I'm a little confused then. If they trusted their secret to you why did start this thread, give those of us who are not in the loop just enough to pique our interest, and then walk away? Did you expect us to wait patiently and talk about the color of the spinner while we waited for you to tell us the whole story? That's how rumors start.

Because, Lance, that's THEATER

Re: It's Official: Dago Red has been.........

See what I get for getting up early to take out the garbage?THEATER

So garbage day on the penninsula is Thursday? OK guys, now we know what day to go by Wayne's and dive for secrets.

Color coded bumpers and monochromatic paint jobs died on cars in the 80's. I think the polished spinner makes the rest of the paint job "pop".

Two votes for polished spinner from us!!

Now Jim.. not supposed to respond to portions of posts that I think better of and edit out my rant... I KNOW you KNOW about keepng secrets...

Ummn.. presently at BeerNazi's... as I took out the Garbage, happened to notice her BLUE car with BLUE bumpers and the 60's car down the street with MULTIPLE paint colors and CHROME bumpers....



But what do I know...

Lance - I started this thread because I was asked to let it be known that Dago Red was sold... so the former owner would not continue to be getting phone calls inquiring about it. It was a little wierd... the plane was up for sale for these last few years and all of a sudden - it was like a weekly occurance where someone was calling about the plane... and not always at an opportune time.

Anyway - tell you what. Let me call Ryan and see if he's up for an interview by Mr Wayners so the whole story can be told and the rumors end.

Re: It's Official: Dago Red has been.........

I knew about the deal before PRS and never said a word... Now I would like to get one of those little gold stars... you know, like you got when you were in elementary school....

On a more realistic note: I thought the prop and spinner (the current set) was Dan's? Still is? Is no longer?? Never was??? Just curious... Might be an answer to the return of the chrome spinner - or not...

At any rate I'm glad it went where it is now, the other interested party wanted to turn it into a TF
