Awesome video Mike -- that #2 did not want to stay running ... boost pump issue?

That's really cool. I can't wait to see it take flight. I've seen Fifi at the Van Nuys air show and watched it fly. What a sound they make! Congratulations to the Doc team.

We would have had three if someone had secured the 5 gallon fuel cans for the auxiliary generator better than by using bungee cords. Still makes me sick!

Just no excuse for what happened. Impatience at it's finest and with such an extraordinary bird.

Greenameyer was anxious to get it flying so he could make a grand entrance at that year's Reno Air Races.

Is that the -29 that burned up on the ice -- seems they were taxing it? Saw a story on it once -- I think it was Discovery Channel or maybe the History Channel ... its been a number of years ago. TAZ
