Al used the flight cat in the wyandotte, mi kilo runs in 1983

Butch, I went to alot of races in the 70's and 80's, never saw Al race the Flight. Did Al ever race the Flight Cat or was it just used for the Kilo runs? Thanks!

That was the only time i saw him run the flight. It wasn't in the saturday race, just the kilo run on sunday

Al won the presidents cup down in panama after the 1982 world championships in key west

Flying Butch Ryan would you happen to have a picture of the boat?

Found these pic's that may be Al's Flight cat, they were posted here on OSO back in 2004.

Interesting boat could be one of his pleasure skaters but would have to defer to the experts

Thats not a Skater, the body lines look like a flight cat.

Butch that's were Al went 113mph in his Flight Class I boat,, than you went 114mph in your Class II Active cat. Mark
