Looking for info on locations of Mustangs in SF Bay area. I think there are one or two in Santa Rosa north of SF, a few in Hollister south of SF, wondering about San Jose, Oakland, Salinas, Monterey? Also looking to contact Dan Martin.

hollister is mustang central for the bay area...

Of those I recognize, Speedball Alice--Dan Vance, Ridge Runner--Dan Martin, Polar Bear--Jerry Gabe. Does Jack Hovey fly his often? I think it is Merlin Magic.

I named my old CJ-5 Jeep 'Ridge Runner' after the P-51 in California....seemed like a good 4 wheeling name and I could'nt find any names I liked off of a Corsair anywhere (thought of naming it 'The Sinner' afer a Corsair I saw called that, but did'nt want religious groups chasing me around town)....anyway that jeep lasted me ten years and down a LOT of four wheeling trails, sold it to some guy who wanted to fix it up as a hunting vehicle but wound up with a second child and has'nt done anything with it yet...
