Red Stars to do 50 at Osh this year
 
True to form, in the friendly competition between the RV'ers and the warbirds, the Red Stars are going for a 50 ship formation at Osh this year.:eek:
They will be overhead on Wednesday. Thats a lot of airplanes in the same space. I can't wait to see em pull it off and hear the roar of all those radials. They have a pretty high bar to meet. We wish them all the best for a safe flight. Go get em Red Stars!

Best,

O.K. Mike, you got me.

Who are the "Red Stars"????

Bunch of folks flying Yak 52s???

Yaks and CJ's. They are a sub group inside the F.A.S.T. formation group.
We get the opportunity to join up at a coulple of airshow each year and do some passes with them. Sometimes I stand in on check rides with them also. Fun group. Those radials sound great. We dont mind slowing down to fly with them:) And we never compete or give each other a hard time I promise.:p

Mike, thanks.

Kinda thought so, the name is a bit of a give away.

One of my neighbors has a Yak, couple of doors down. I always know when he is taxing by------very distinctive rumble.
