Back when Ken Schrader was driving the Junie Donlavey #90 in Cup competition, sponsor Red Baron Pizza had their famed Red Baron Pizza Squadron perform at pre-race shows at several venues.
I thought of them today because the last time I ever saw them perform was at New Hampshire. I know I also saw them at Charlotte and perhaps at Pocono - not sure.
For 28 years between 1979-2007, 42 different pilots flew in the 4-man formation that featured restored 1941-1943 Boeing PT-17 Stearman Biplane Primary Trainers.
Their shows were exciting, though it could be unnerving to see four biplanes diving down at you, trailing red, white & blue smoke.
If you never saw them, you missed a real treat.
