Status: offline 		The FAST team flew demo flights until 1958 when Cox took over and called the flight circle in Tomorrowland the "Thimble Drome"Don Hatcher and Bob Collins along with Kieth Palmer came over from Fast Team and I (George Molitor) and Bart Klabinski were hired along with Travisd Odom. Kieth was the firast to fly three P-40's and I soon perfected the act. Near the end, Kieth & I actually figured out how to loop all six planes without crosing all of the lines. I am interested in some of the history pictures of the area for I am probably in them.

Status: offline 		Hey George. I finally got a digital copy of "Wally Wins His Wings" and you and I are in it when we flew at the Pomona Fair. There is a blond guy with us, and I can't remember his name. Remember when I used to pick you up in the Jag, and we would were those ugly yellow shirts? There is also some film of you and keith flying combat and the Comanche. I furnished a lot of stuff to Dave DeCaro at Daveland.com. He used a lot of photos he had too, and combined them into a Flight Circle page.

Your background info on the Fast Club is even more detailed, and should be added.

I still have a few Krin Kraft  Tee Dee left hand .049's with the orange props. My dad and I used to rat race them. You could hear our engines way over a stock tee dee.
