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?

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)

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!
