Fantastic. Also a testament to the amazing engineering that went into those old fighter planes.

And a reminder that air racers often don’t survive a mechanical problem. tough sport.

Oh yeah. High strung, purpose-built thoroughbreds. Pretty much the opposite of the tough fighters they were built to outrun.

I loved the idea of the Pond Racer and what it meant for air racing. Two GTP engines in bespoke airframe. Yes, please. Save the warbirds and still have great racing.
