Beautiful!!! Is it yours and do you know about the color?

[mustangdriver]

That is cool. Was it a test aircraft for a while?

[kenlyco]

I did not take the pic. but I bought a copy of it.

I am sure that Flight systems was a sponscer, as it was a racing plane. If you look under the F4U, you will see a main wheel of a 51, and behind the F4U is Bob Hoovers Commander.

Here's one of the Blue Max at the 1976 Reno Air Races, with a future Warbird mechanic-wannabe holding the gear down.

1976! I've got beer in the refrigerator older than you Gary! Finally did it a thousand posts and a promotion. Maybe the next thousand will be more fun and interesting!

Hard to believe, huh?

And with HAIR! Sorry Gary, couldn't resist..... Alan

Heck Alan, having hair on my head isn't a problem. I just have it cut down to help save weight. (which is much easier than not eating)

1976! I've got beer in the refrigerator older than you Gary!

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.

That sounds like a tall tale to me. I can't imagine my cousin leaving a beer somewhere since 1976!
