Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sorry I get giddy this time every year, next week it all starts at Reno, friend sent me this video, shot from the "Valley of Speed" on the course at Reno last year. Check out the witch, "Strega" (number 7) she is flying over 500 mph! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXph7PUE0b8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hear Tell some people down there seem to spend Saturday in front of a TV watching that game, never seen it myself, get busy living or get busy dieing There is a F7F Tigercat at Planes of Fame in Chino. There's another one I've seen flying a time or two, but I'm told it isn't the same one. I wasn't aware they were made in large numbers. Guess I'll have to look that up. Oh yeah, GREAT P-40, too. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Rod Lewis owns two of them, "Here Kitty Kitty" and "The Big Boss man" They maybe based in Chino. I have been at Reno when there were 5 or 6 out there, they did a formation run, something to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Grummans, a Yak and Focke Wulf -- COOL! Do you know if that FW is powered by a BMW engine, or has something else been stuffed in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 That was cool, even had a F4F Wildcat, what appears to be a FW-190 and a P-51C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if that FW is powered by a BMW engine, or has something else been stuffed in there? The Focke Wulf is a replica that was built (and a fine job) I am not sure what powers her but would suspect a Pratt and Whitney 2800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Whiskers Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Mustang...prettiest warbird ever built.Spent many summers at the EAA fly-in waking up to the sound of warbirds flying in from different airfields each morning.What did the Strega do with the radiator to keep it cool?I see it's been moved or removed one or the other.
