The
July 18 report was to remind everyone that we were
preparing for the trip to Oshkosh for the AirVenture
convention there. We are back now, and we had a
great trip. "Blue Thunder II" was parked on the
south east corner of AeroShell Square just off the
pavement next to the Reno Air Races tent, one of the
highest traffic areas of the show.
There could
not have been a better spot on the planet for "Blue
Thunder II" to be parked where it would have
attracted more attention. There was always crowd
around, many asking the same questions. Our answers
were always the same, Falconer V-12 engine with
thanks to Tempest filters, Odyssey batteries, ERC
racing fuel and Air Graphics
Many
of the EAA executives and photographers dropped by
for a visit with the Blue Crew. Paul Poberezny
himself dropped by for a visit.
As we all
know, the Reno Air Races are approaching fast and we
are working on a few updates to insure we will be
able to put on a good show and place well in the
standings.
Again,
American air Racing will be hosting the tenth annual
Thunderstorm 2010 with the usual good food and drink
in the usual family style on the ramp after the
races each day. Everyone with a Thunder Mustang or
an interest in it is welcome.

Thunder fans planning to attend the Reno Air Races
