Oh come on Lynn. It's just another Mustang. They are everywhere around here, just get tired of seeing the same old thing all the time. Now a Gooney Bird in the air.....now that's something to see!

I don't remember the owners name, but it is usually flown by Terry Tarditi. It is a VERY nice bird that was a no expense spared build.
