Very easy, just donate your plane to the CAF, then sponsor it for $10,000 and you too can have a sticker........................

:lol:

That should be a high quality sticker

Would have loved to have been there, but...hey, here's an idea, can maybe next year we have less than 10 major airshows on the third weekend in May? :)

Speaking of Bearcats, does Tom Wood still have his? I haven't seen it in about 2-3 years.

What a rare treat to see The Horsemen perform their 3-ship aerobatic routine out here on the west coast, in BEARCATS no less. Jim Beasley, Ed Shipley and Dan Friedkin usually perform in Mustangs. Great show!

After the perfomance on Sunday, Jim Beasley found that he had a little problem----no hydraulic pressure. With some verbal assistance from the ground from Jim Dale (the Air Boss), Beasley gravity-dropped the landing gear, waggled the wings to lock them down and then made an uneventful, safe landing even though the flaps couldn't be lowered. "Nice job" to both these guys!

Below is a link to the radio transmissions that I recorded during this event. Jim Beasley is "Horsemen Lead" and Jim Dale is "Air Boss."

I think you need to post the audio between JD (Airboss) and Jim prior to what you have on Photobucket.
