Stopped over at my friends house (Bob Riggle aka. Hemi Under Glass) to look at a car that another friend of mine was interested in. I saw a pic in his living room and asked if I could copy it, to which he said sure. Several years ago he was doing an exhibition and the Blue Angels were there also. So they staged this pic. Bob was lined up at the start of the runway and was given a signal to take off, so as to time it for this pic.

Nice to know it’s still around.

Actually it is not. Bob is in his mid 80's now. He sold it a couple of years ago to a guy in Chicago to be used as a prop in his restaurant. Here's a pic of Bob and me in front of his house here in Chino Valley right before he sold it.

Yeah, I would have thought he’d be getting up there.

I guess we all gotta “retire” eventually.
