Default Video of the 2010 Rocket 100 Air Race

I've heard about it via the message below but I haven't seen it yet.

Bob Axsom

Folks may recall a very nice video that was done by Jeff Lee at
LiveAirShowTV.com after last year's Rocket race - it's still posted on the race
memories page for that race http://www.sportairrace.org/id314.html

Jeff found time on his schedule to come out to this year's Rocket race and
outdid himself with another race season wrap-up video.

I invite you to see it at one of two places, either
http://www.youtube.com/LiveAirShowTV or directly on YouTube at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUh1lgQJn6M

An outstanding job, Jeff!

Thank you!

- Mike

There is a gorgeous looking black -8 at 2:42. Anyone know who that belongs to or where photos may be found?

Default I believe it is George Fisher's EVO Rocket

If you go to www.sportairrace.org then to Race Memories I think you Will find photographs of it in the 2010 Rocket 100 set and an earlier TVAR race. I took of after him at another race and it is an unbelievably beautiful deep dark blue. Very unusual.

P.S. I found several photos of it in Race Memories for the Great Canadian Air Rally Air Race. He calls the plane "Midnight Mistress"

Bob's right, that's George Fisher's F1 EVO, Midnight Mistress. It is indeed a very pretty plane! Here's a couple pics from up at Tom's farm during the Great Canadian Air Rally (July 2010):





Pretty true color in the pics...it's really gorgeous, especially when the light hits it right!

I don't think we've seen how fast it'll go yet, 'cause it seems he always finds a pretty girl to take along for the race (Priorities...I love that!)

Great vid of the Rocket Race too (though waaayyy too much of my mug in it! )

Cheers,
Bob

Default It is worth you time

It is worth your time to watch this video just to see the Mustang racing. Some of the smokers add a little emphasis with the smoke on at dramatic times. The T-28, Bob Mills RV-Super 6 and one of the roickets for example.
