They jump at 1,000 ft, so they should have no problem landing where they need to.

Sounds like its gonna be a great show!

Hmmm is there a chance to see a P-38, P-39, P-47, P-51, and P-40 at the show together?

This is gonna be a great show!

I know it's probably a little early to ask, but will there be a Razorback P-47? I've wanted to see one for years, but have never had the chance.


We are talking to Steve about it, but I'm not sure yet if we would be willing to spend the money that would be needed for that one aircraft to attend.


Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go? What are we talking about? How about a sponsorship program? I'd contribute to that. See what Steve needs and let us know. Could be a whole lot of razorback fans out there when laid end to end, could come up with some $$. :lol:

The fighter factory is bringing their P-39? and what P-47's do you think you may get show up. Is it too early to tell? I would like to make reservations soon.

Well Im gonna go ahead and list off all the possible 47's i can think of. Anybody, feel free to add any I may have missed.

"Jacky's Revenge" A.A.M. (NY)

"Hairless Joe" Butch Shroeder (IL)

"Hun Hunter XVI"
"Wicked Wabbit" T.M.o.A. (TN)

"No Guts No Glory" Tom Duffy (NJ)

"Tarheel Hal" L.S.F.M. (TX)

"Big Chief" P.S.A.M. (CA)

"Spirit of NJ" P.O.F. (CA)

"Meat Chopper" C.A.F. (TX) Any chance of this one being done in time?

There are a few others,

The old Tillamook P-47 now in TX

Bill Destefani's example I believe. Same squadron as "No Guts"

And of course FHC's example. But they seem pretty conservative with flying there aircraft.

Didn't "Big Chief" become "Squirt VIII" at Palm Springs (or have I got my Jugs confused again--they all start looking the same after a while)?
