Great shots, Chris!

I never made it off the airport so most of mine will be planform view from underneath, which in the case of Rare Bear isn't all that bad. Has there ever been a better paint scheme applied to a pylon racer?





Duh! Burnstine's Miss Suzi-Q.

Maybe a close second! :) Poor quality, I know - it's a scanned slide taken on a manual Pentax with a 400 mm Tele-Astranar manual lens at OSH in 1974.

If I'm not mistaken, that's Tom Camp in the P-40 - same guy who was the anchor man in the Bronze race:

Here's a few special interest:

Voodoo on short final after Sunday's Mayday call - smoke in the cockpit:

That's correct. He flew BA and the Corsair early in the week, then handed the Corsair over to Jimmy Leeward so that he could keep his race qual.
