Blue Thunder II Crew Report

By News

This is a quick note to let everyone know we are back from the AirVenture Cup Race and the Oshkosh convention safe and sound.

We were lucky to be able to compete in the Venture Cup and didn’t do too badly considering the circumstances. Check out the results at http://www.airventurecuprace.com/2014-Race-Results.html

The Blue Crew is in a major rush to prepare for the Reno Air Races in just about three weeks so forgive me please if I cut this report a bit short.

The Oshkosh convention was as overwhelming as usual and I will have an extensive AirVenture Cup Race, Oshkosh Convention and Reno Air Races report in October.

May I remind everyone that you are invited to the 14th annual Blue Thunder open house we call Thunder Storm during the Reno Races September 10th – 14th. Bring your TM if you wish and we will care for it. Food and beverage when AROD as usual.

Thanks so much for everyone’s support because your support is what makes this possible.

While at Oshkosh this year, the race team solidified a full sponsorship with Redbird Flight Simulations, an industry leading flight training and simulation company.

Redbird Flight Simulations was established in 2006 with the specific purpose making simulation more accessible to the general aviation industry. Since its inception Redbird has delivered innovative, reliable and high-quality training devices to flight schools, colleges, universities and individual pilots around the world. With more than 800 devices in service worldwide, Redbird has quickly become the fastest growing and most innovative simulator provider in the industry. Redbird has continued to expand their company and scope, and have quite literally begun to shape the way flight training is conducted. From the simulator, to their full service flight school, they are a first class technology and training company.

This will be the Redbird Chief Pilot, Jerry Gregoire’s first time to visit the Reno Air Races, and we are honored to have the first visit include a sponsorship. Look for Redbird Racing Team at the Sport Class Pit hangar this year. We are excited to see everyone in Reno.
