Tune in or set your DVR. It should be a fun time!
Carnak considering checkerboards for new speed mod this winter!

As dash 2,
All I had to do was line up hinge bolt to spinner,
And Red Head to canopy rail.
Now thats a sweet spot.

BUT, you have a thing for Red Heads, Blondes, and Brunettes. Sounds like a GREAT place to be.

Ya think they ever figured out the real reason we put the 7 with the pilot in the right seat as dash 2 (left wing), and the 6 with the pilot in the left seat as dash 3 (right wing)?

Kari's a good sport! They were all great to work with! Should be fun to watch!

Cheers,
Bob

You could then surmise that the entire flight was actually following Kari, and not necessarily Slick. Sorry Tim, but that's just a guess...

Wingmen have time to notice things like hot redheads while in formation. Confirmed/Plausible/Busted?
