Lot of neat "Nascar Air Force" stories floating around. |

Wisconsin-UNLV on ESPN right now.
But all I find is Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon. And deservedly so. But what's funny was someone last year made a comment on the Colin Cowherd show about "Hey, I went to Oregon... we didn't have girls that looked like that? Where are they getting them?" Too funny. I'm not thinking the northwest is where you find the hot girls of the Pac 10. I'm thinking Ferd has that... cough... nailed down... cough... in Arizona. |

65, Big Engines, Supercritical Wing, Transcon range (easy), 530MPH+ cruise, quiet. Only bad thing was the lack of external baggage access. Great machine. They were perceived as an old man's jet, but the 65 was to a 40 what a 737-700 is to a 737-200.

Surely not at Mary's. Ever had a Captain drag you over there?
But I'm intrigued, Marys? I went there flying corporate though. Flew some fat guys over so they could go shoot deer on one of those ranches with the 14' high fences. No offense to anyone, but really? |
Here, Amanda from Oregon wants to know if YOU can find a picture worth posting...

Back when flying corporate, Jeff was probably the most down to earth driver and would hang with the pilots, even on race day. He'd walk right up, ask how lunch was and sit down beside the corporate guys to talk airplanes. Jeff had a Lear 36 back then and is flying a Hawker these days. The other real down to earth guy was Dale Earnhart. I'd like to think we had something to do with his choice of a Sabre 65, which was a lot better choice than the Hawker, IMO. As far as team owners go, Jack Roush is an airplane nut. Get him talking airplanes and he follows you around :)
Seven or eight years ago, when I was a new 757 Capt., I kept a car in DTW. I spent some time as a reserve and went out to Roush Industries in Lavonia one afternoon to get some stickers for one of my vintage race cars that has a Roush Racing engine in it. Jack found out that I was coming and wanted to meet the owner of the old Trans-Am Series Mustang race car that had raced with parts of his rental car on it. Needless to say, when he found out that I was a pilot, he wanted to talk airplanes, and, of course I wanted to talk cars. |

Did you get to see Jack's (Mr. Roush to me) collection of RR Merlins? |

Neat Stuff! Particularly your Trans Am Series Mustang. I've always wanted some Roush stuff in my garage and have never quite been able to afford any. I'm much more of a Roush & SVT fan than that fiberglass manufacturer currently headquartered in Vegas.
Did you get to see Jack's (Mr. Roush to me) collection of RR Merlins? About the other guy you alluded to, my other vintage race mustang is one of his. A real '66 G.T.350 that's been a race car since the 70's. |
