[quote="Jim Beasley"]Not certain, and you should ask him but I believe he's so busy with the black diamond team there just wasn't the time. That team is super busy this coming year.

Thanks Jim... I will be talking to him at Tico next week and I'll ask...

Sabre arrivals 03/01/12
I need an id on this one. He turned short and I could not get a side shot. He arrived in formation with NX-1F the second shot below.

Thanks for the excellent shots Bill. Wow, 3 Sabre's in similar markings in one place, very cool.

I had not seen the Apache painted, the scheme looks awesome.

That was one very loose "formation landing"!

I love seeing the Horsemen team decals on the bottom of each F-86. Maybe this will finally be the year for the Sabre 3-ship acro? :supz:

I like the Hell-er-Bust Sabre a lot! Haven't seen pics of that one before. Is it a new paint scheme?

Also thanks for the list of the civilian pilots. Hoping to see a Heritage Flight at either Shaw or Winston-Salem this year. It's always a highlight of an airshow and a very nice tribute for the veterans.

Can anyone give details about the markings? I've got a pretty extensive library but I don't have much on the A-36.
