Was AllRedStar '07 so bad nobody wants to talk about it? How about a report for Way Far away folks.

Very much to the contrary, ARS was spectacular once again this year. I've now been to all six of them, and, as brother Steve is fond of observing, "Once again, there was not an adult in sight all weekend."
Barry Hancock and his crew always knock themselves out, and Porterville residents couldn't be more welcoming. The Ops Tent, actually the type one would get married in, was the place for briefing, debriefing, dining and drinking at day's end. While our nearby hotel provided a free breakfast, lunch and dinner were beautifully catered in the tent, complete with radient heaters when it was chilly and kegs of draft.
Perhaps someone has an accurate count of aircraft, but it must have been north of 50 -- CJs, Yak 52s & 50s, L-39s, T-34s and a couple Marcettis (sp?). Obviously, much FAST training and Red Stars mass formation practice went on daily. Air Boss, "Postal", our active duty Naval Aviator, was LSO for the carrier landing competition and lived up to the traditional view that an LSO is a "one-eyed, blind, pig-(at)#$%er." Can't recall who won. I was too busy sucking on my slurpy cup of "Barbie" Ekberg's Long Island Ice Tea Special.
I won several awards about which I'm too modest to discuss here. Roy Will had the "Best Yak" and Ron Lee, the "Best CJ", commonly referred to as the CJ Escalade Award. Ron's has a cappuccino machine in the back seat because he comes from LA. Finally, the San Diego Escadrille won the ARS Formation Challenge with a highly rehearsed and flawless performance in their Yak 52s.

Patience Mr. Payne. You can read all about ARS in the next issue of Red Alert. However as a tease Barry Hancock and crew put on another outstanding event 51 planes CJs, Yaks, L39s, T-34s, Marchetti and one Grumman Albatross.
