Video of the 2010 Rocket 100 Air Race

[Bob Axsom]

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

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

An outstanding job, Jeff!

Thank you!

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

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

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.
