I have a program from the 1971 Mojave race that has a picture of the DC-7 from the prior year.I can dig it up and scan it if anyone thinks I should. Tim
Are you kidding…… 😮

The Reno shack is about as much fun as the DC-7 that I saw Clay Lacy race in the Mojave unlimited race as a kid in 1970.OH MY GOD!

One of our pilots was last seen heading west, destination Reno, he did’nt mention the Shack though!
Still working on the colour scheme 😉

Only recent news I have read is that it will for sure fly for the airshow in Oct.
I’ll watch at Reno… might be a surprise entry! 😀

Any photos from the California 1000 races? A DC-7, A-26, P-38, F4U and Mustangs battle around the course!!! That would be interesting to see!

Shackleton has FLOWN! Friend of mine was running the B29 while the Shackleton was flying…. he said that was a unique sound!!

Great news to hear that the Shack is back in the air. You are right about the sound Dan. It is very unique

Andy…. Since Gary was working in the same hangar I figured he would know if the Shackleton flew or not! So, yes… he gave me the news.

We’ve had an engineer and pilot out in Midland for a few weeks now working on Mr McHenry and it has indeed flown. I don’t know what is planned for its future though.
Tom.
What about a Reno entry……now that would be a hoot 😀 😀

I forgot to say in my previous post that ‘m well pleased by this news.
Well done CAF.
