Roush Aircraft pictures

Elmira all right. Those were from last August up at The Glen. Good eye. Got some of the glider ride also but didn't put them in the album.

Roush aircraft pictures are below. I need to take some more with my new camera as some of these are a little dark. The first ones are of the race plane and the later ones are one of the planes we use for charters. http://www.ofoto.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?UV=276562200758_47215440503&US=0&collid=69055440503

One of the a/c sales mags is advertising a Jetstar owned by Michael and Mario Andretti for sale.

I was in Owensboro KY a few days ago. Richard Childress was on his way out in a Brasilia with "RCR" and a checkered flag stenciled on the tail.

Kenny Schrader...

My uncle grew up racing with Kenny, and he comes up here 2 or 3 times a year to visit. IIRC, he flies his own Citation V.

Cheers,

F/O-

I think the Jetstar is in Executive Controller. It lives in our hangar. Those underwing tanks are HUGE. Supposedly, Mario and son live out near the Nazareth Speedway, visible to you on the approach to runway 24.

When I was at GSO a couple of months ago, Richard Petty taxied up in a King Air.... with the trademark hat, too. Just as his reputation would suggest, he waved back when I waved from the cockpit window of the 55 as he walked to his car. I remember watching Richard when they were racing stock cars.

Does anyone know when they changed from a true "stock" car to the frame and body race machines they use today? Was it 1973?
