Anyone know whats up and maybe have an inventory of what they operate???

Ohhhh......my....

Is this the most gorgeous thing you ever saw in the sky ???? 8)

Just out of curiosity did Mr Gardner ( Lefty ) ever visited during the resto work ? Did he had any comments on the work done to White Lightning and the scheme chosen ?

Do not get me wrong, I am sure he is more than pleased by the simple fact the his son incident turned out without any loss of life or serious injuries. Also, a lot of water has ran under the bridge since then & I am simply curious if anyone know his feelings / insights on the subject since his family had to depart with the P-38.

Please do not let this turn into a right or wrong thing to do argument. I am simply looking for how one feels after seeing the end result.

They own a Grumman Albatross as well, I saw it fly this weekend at the air race.

For what it's worth, they also own 20% of the teams in Forumla One auto racing.

Red Bull is about the biggest supporter or speed and motorsports in the world, I certainly trust them with these warbirds, there is real passion there.
