Is now an air race pilot. He completed PRS this week in his mustang.

Glad to see he is getting another one of his planes involved at Reno.

It looks like we have another famous progenitor from the Penney line. Heather Penney qualified in the jet class as well. Anyone know how she is related to John Penney?

Most excellent! Now we have two offspring of famous Unlimited air racers who will be flying at Reno this year. Anyone know if Tiger has any offspring who are pilots?

So Rare Bear, La Pistolera...what are the other two he might bring over. I would guess his other bearcat...so what else? Curious minds want to know.

I have heard there will be six P-38's at Reno this year as well so I am sure he will bring Glacier Girl but highly doubt we will ever see a P-38 racing around the pylons again.
