Subject:  Re: [Ferrari] Check out the FAQs from Ferrari of Denver


Hey, I flew  in a Bonanza V-Tail once from L.A. to Phoenix to cover the 
Phoenix 200 Indy  Car Race back in the late 1960's for the Her-Ex. The flight 
was a 
little bumpy  but O.K. But the pilot landed at the wrong airport, Goodyear 
instead of Sky  Harbor in the Phoenix area. He had filed a flight plan to Sky 
Harbor and when  we didn't show up they thought we were down. After a couple of 
hours we were  finally found at the airport bar still waiting for our ride to 
the track. That  was the year that Bobby Unser and Mario got together in their 
new low rear  engined cars and both ended up going under the guard rail in 
turn 4. they both  were O.K. but after that the guard rails were built lower 
for 
the new rear  engined cars. The race was red-flagged after the shunt, so we 
finally got to  the track in time to see the last half of the race. Ever try to 
file a race  story when you only saw the last half? <G>
