History / Previous Identities:

 
   
1966: N7099V (Pioneer Aero)
1969: N9LR (Larry Strimple)
1974: N55JL (Jimmy Leeward)
Numerous names and paint schemes. Jimmy Leeward likes to show up at shows each year with a different mustang.
Mostly "Cloud Dancer" #9, but you never know.
#9 seems to be the only thing that does not change.
2001: Oct. firewall forward restoration began by Dan Martin
in Hollister, CA
2005: wins Bronze by passing P-51A Polar Bear after playing with him most of the race.
2006: installed the old cut-down race canopy and a race Merlin. Came back just before the start of the Gold race with a cracked header tank which means coolant is streaming out and you have to land very soon or burn up your Merlin.
