Amazon.com had 3 sellers with Blue Thuner(used). They range $154-$192. Believe or not the original list price was $52.00

My Personal reflection Where and what exactly I was doing that moment I learned of the Shooting down on 188 can Never Forget!
I’ll say this Mr. Aronow was very well liked by a lot of people, when we first heard the News he was shot my Cuban Glass crew started Praying for him. As for myself I was hoping he would pull through.
There were conflicting reports that day of him both alive and having passed away. Once it was learned of His Passing we knocked off work .Then the Rumors Started
The Place has never been the same without the King.

Saber,
Thanks for the article, I have heard a lot about Don Aronow over the years but this is great insight. There are a lot of pages on the internet, if you do a search, but the real question is who is right and who is wrong. I want to believe that Aronow was a good American caught up with the wrong guys and did the moral or right thing and it cost him his life. We may never know but that is fine with me as long as I believe that he was a pioneer in performance boats.
Sometimes it is better not to know about your hero's personal life than it is to know what they accomplished.

Boy did I hose up...
Last week amazon had a used copy of Blue Thunder for $70, and a used signed copy (Burdick) for $95. Didn't want to buck up the coin at the time.. gone. Your right Lucididee2, now cheapest copy $154. Anybody want to sell me their copy?
I'll check Crouses site.
Is that the site OSO used to have a link to? I was thinking OSO used to sell the books in the online store?
MrOffshore, I don't know.. I want to read some other versions of the story before commenting, although I do agree with TulsaLarry.
This is great stuff! I read 'King of Thunderboat Row' last weekend pretty much cover to cover with little rest. Wished I had bought the Blue Thunder at the same time.
As far as a movie, you can't make this stuff up, no doubt it would be a great movie. Look at the garbage out there that is selling now? Throw in some fast boats and cars, a couple hot babes, instant hit!
