I noticed last night on the web site for the Fort Worth Alliance Air show, under the Static Displays listing, that they have a "Harpoon" listed. Assuming that they are talking about a Lockheed PV-2 and not some new-fangled homebuilt, I can think of only three possibilities, and one of those seems rather unlikely. So will it be Attu Warrior or Hot Stuff? Or are Taigh and his crew going to sneak out to Texas and surprise us? (not that it matters which one it will be, 'cuz any Harpoon will be most welcome!).

It's not "Hot Stuff". So my guess is probably "Attu Warrior" Always good to see a Harpoon, so whichever of the other two, it's all good!

Not us either...couldn't even get gas :( :shock: We would love to come by, but we would need to get a show-up fee or gas.
We are planning to be at Meechum on the 13th, but that may be in question now

Hey Dave,

Completely understood. No fuel, no fly. We were the same way when we operated Chuckie. Air show budgets are getting tighter and tighter, and rising fuel prices sure don't help. No worries! I'll be looking forward to (hopefully) seeing you at the Fall Fling (I'll be working the event, but I'll definitely make time to visit!).

And maybe some day, there will be a three-ship Harpoon flyby! :D
