About 2 1/2 weeks ago JC brought Sneak Attack back in after the initial run up, saying it didn't feel right. A little investigation turned up a cold cylinder. They pulled the spark plug, and coolant came out. Time for an engine swap, even though the Reno air races are just around the corner. So Mike has been helping out, and twice when JC went out to put more time on the engine he stuffed Mike in the back seat. This is a mix of pictures from 2 flights about a week apart, mashed together into a semi-coherent narrative. Mike took the ones from the first flight with an Olympus SP-550. He did all the in the air shots

Sneak Attack has been flying continuously since 1971. It's probably the highest time P-40 in the world.

And the pilot in the front seat. It works a lot better that way.
