I have no problem being corrected when I'm wrong. I just know my first year at Reno was 1976, at an age of 6. And while this picture may be from '77 or maybe even later, I was always under the impression it was taken during 1976 and that this was Baby Gorilla. (and yes, that's me standing next to my Granddaddy in front of the airplane).............

Clouds....looks like 1978. Cool pic, though!!!

Gary, what did I do to start such a thread? :lol: But I am happy about it. See I got you fame. OTher people are trying to convince you to market Stratolina. Can't be as bad as trying to market a few cadillac's stuck in the ground! :shock: :rock:

I predict the Stratolina will becone a creature of myth. People will pass downs stories of her for generations to come. Ya know like the Loch Ness monster or Herbie the Love Bug :idea: :!:

Hey how about this:

Pour tons of money in it, just like a warbird. Get merlin engines, F-102 wheels, and a P-51 tail, and then try to sell it on ebay.!!
