    Sharp pics. Any symbolic ties to the Pink Panther and pink paint scheme, a knock on his SR-71's Skunk Works? Any fun reactions from local pilots on a Soviet bird in their midst? No ANG performance challenges?

    PS: MiG-21 Fishbed, no one ever calls them their NATO given names and that is for good reason. MiG-15 ***got, MiG-23 Flogger? Who names these things?

    Paint scheme picked out by the owners 4 grandaughters. Dave has taken a whole lot of flack over the whole pink thing. The f-15 NG drivers think that this rellic of the past is a very cool machine to have around. Several of them would like to try their hand at flying the beast and will more than likely get to do so as it is a fully equiped dual crontrol model.

    Dear Steve:

    I sent you a PM.




    Do you want a ride in a Hayabusa with big bore kit, cams and nitrous oxide ?


    Of course with someone on the back, you cannot spray until you are farther down the road. It is hard to keep the front wheel down.

    Steve, I'll go. Depends on date though, won't be in town for part of the month.

    Any luck on TR search? I've been keeping my eyes open.

    Hi Bryan...I'm sortta kidding about the Mig ride. Dave says he may give a few hops down the road. If it a doable deal i'l let you know. Spoke with Brandon 2 weeks ago regarding a tr. Has a 87 2 owner red tan 18k car for 60k. Said it was Joe Montanas. Needs 5yr svc. I was down working on the 51 last week and wanted to see it, but he was on spring break in Mexico with his family. Have tried to call him several times this week but no contact. Was comming down your way but got sidetracked at concord for a test hop in the Beachjet 400 that my son flies. Very cool machine. I'l post pix later. Be down later this month and plan on contact with Brandon and you. ss

    I remember that car. We sold a couple of cars to Joe. Let me know when you are coming.


    You forgot to mention Skip was one of the test pilots for the F117 and a 105 driver over Hanoi. With him I would ride in one of those things.

    When Skip wasnt flying the BEAST, he told several Thud stories while in Viet Nam. What a guy, cool,calm and very down to earth. We had quite a week while he was here. We get again in June.
