PS... have you heard about the jet class? Rumor or truth?

I don't know. If you look in AAFO it appears to be confirmed and true, but then I don't know how many people on AAFO are associated with the Jet Class committee or RARA.

RARA website says there are still 6 classes of racing this year, with Jets.

Unlike most on AAFO, I like the jet races. Sure, they aren't super fast or loud but what the heck, it a RACE!

Last year, there were a lot of holes in the daily program...I mean just DEAD boring space, hardly any air show acts (and I like them, too).

If they kill the jet races and don't fill the slots with anything it's either going to be a short day or there's going to be a lot of dead air in between races.

Keep the jets and add T-28s!

Two of the aerobatic acts that were supposed to perform were grounded because of the Cap232 wing problem. That's why the performances were (yawn) not up to par.

I like the jets - but never saw the T28s race.

I think the rocket racing will be silly - but I'm willing to give it a chance. I'll check in with my L39 pals and see if they have more info.

PS... have you see the 16R video about Van Nuys Airport yet? It's AWESOME!!
