Let's see. A Thunderbird and a Nobler modified to look like an Olympic. Early to mid 60's. The guy on the left looks like he could be Christopher Reeves aka Superman. Guy on the right looks familiar. Any clues Stephen?

Tony Blair and George W Bush. The Olympic WAS a modified Nobler.

Hi Dave,

I guess Tony is the one with the Thunderbird? I am guessing he has that one out of respect for Mr. Palmer's visit to England.

Bill <><

I wonder which of the six variants of the Olympic/Nobler Mr. Bush is representing?

Can't be Bush, both of those planes are on his Axis of Evil list...along with most things!

One of the fellas is a regular at Essex Aggie Wednesday practice sessions so he HAS to be a nutcase to fly off that grass. District 1 pilot.

Guy on the left looks like Dave Reagan, but I would never have guessed if Yam hadn't mentioned the Aggie.

Did I win? Did I? Did I?

Rick Campbell, another Aggie regular.

It's obvious that they are not Blair & Bush because UK models don't have AMA numbers.

It's clear to me that these are the founding members of the "SEKRET KABUL" since the AMA number on the modified N has been obliterated.

But Eggy, Bush has the Olybler so he would have an AMA number (but the Secret Service would have to block it out for national security reasons) and you can't see a number on Tony's T-Bird. Hmmmmmmmm.....

That young fella on the right looks sort of like Windy. that is, before he started eating pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

He's still young enough to have hair. Sometimes when our intelligence grows it pushes the hair out.

My favorite, however, is this one:

It has been found that it takes a layer of fat under the skin in order to grow hair. Therefore, baldheads are not fatheads.

I have often wondered about this one, too. Does that mean that all of our friends are characters?

Hey Steve,
What do I win if I get it right, or should I say Wright. That's me on the left, T Bird, ST 35 PB Stunt, still have it. That's AMA 25323 on the right. Probably also a ST 35 PB stunt.
And we're still flying together, at VSC and GSSC.

Jus' don't tell Dick about the -150lb comment. Tell him it was the 40 years that made him hard to recognize.

Whatever.
