I hear the Dana Skunk Works are locked up tight with extra security.  When
he has to wheel it out of the hanger for some reason it is covered in tarps
so no one can get a picture like they do with the new unveiled concept cars.

Hey Dana, how about some new pics of your KR. Would like to see how far

If it was the same one as in Michigan last weekend, the pilot is a very
experieced RV formation pilot with over 600 hours in his taildragger RV.
The winds were 90 degrees, gusting to 25mph.  The airplane touched down,
drifted off the side of the runway then flipped.  The pilot will be in a
neck brace for 12 weeks with the passenger having cuts and bruises.

Be careful with the spring winds.
