Back when flying corporate, Jeff was probably the most down to earth driver and would hang with the pilots, even on race day. He'd walk right up, ask how lunch was and sit down beside the corporate guys to talk airplanes. Jeff had a Lear 36 back then and is flying a Hawker these days. The other real down to earth guy was Dale Earnhart. I'd like to think we had something to do with his choice of a Sabre 65, which was a lot better choice than the Hawker, IMO. As far as team owners go, Jack Roush is an airplane nut. Get him talking airplanes and he follows you around
DE?
Sabre? Nice Bar.

65, Big Engines, Supercritical Wing, Transcon range (easy), 530MPH+ cruise, quiet. Only bad thing was the lack of external baggage access. Great machine. They were perceived as an old man's jet, but the 65 was to a 40 what a 737-700 is to a 737-200.
Lot of neat "Nascar Air Force" stories floating around.

What I wanted to find was Wisconsin cheerleader vs UNLV cheerleader pic. Just to say, hey this game... if you want to call it that now... is on.
But all I find is Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon. And deservedly so.
But what's funny was someone last year made a comment on the Colin Cowherd show about "Hey, I went to Oregon... we didn't have girls that looked like that? Where are they getting them?"
Too funny. I'm not thinking the northwest is where you find the hot girls of the Pac 10. I'm thinking Ferd has that... cough... nailed down... cough... in Arizona.

The 65 is nice. Never been in one. I saw a lot of the older ones and never could figure out why anyone was attracted to them. They're not the most attractive looking airplanes on the airport. But when you read up on them and read the numbers, wow. It's a great airplane < period > but especially when you consider the cost and what you get for it. It's an impressive grab and I appreciate them much more these days.
