Butch, I went to alot of races in the 70's and 80's, never saw Al race the Flight. Did Al ever race the Flight Cat or was it just used for the Kilo runs? Thanks!

Interesting boat could be one of his pleasure skaters but would have to defer to the experts

Thats not a Skater, the body lines look like a flight cat.
