Does anybody know how to contact Greg Forbes to book his Super Sabre for an airshow? Thanks in advance.

I know one of the guys that works on Greg's aircraft and I don't think Greg owns the F100 anymore and It has not flown since Reno 04. If I get a chance tonite I will call my friend to check to see if the airplane may be available or what the status is

I saw this plane fly at Reno in 04.what a beast! the rear section of the fuselage had all of the paint scorched off from the extreme heat that is generated below.I felt that it was a real special occurance for me to actually see one of these baby's fly

I was there when it ran off runway 32, what a deal, I was one of the first people to get there when it happened, the pilot took out a construction barcade, it was wrapped around one of the external tanks.

As of last month the airplane was still at stead and Greg no longer owns the airplane, I don't have the details as to why, not sure when it will fly again, If i get more information i will post it.
