New "wing" on GIECO????
 
So Whats the story about the new verticle "Wing" or "spolier" on the GIECO turbine?????

Also did I hear there was a fire on the boat??? If so when will it be back in operation???

Thanks

The wing is to help stabilize the boat at high speeds.


The fire was just a bigger flame out and because it was so windy it blew the flame back on the boat. There was just some cosmetic damage which was fixed that day.

The boat hot started and had some fuel pooled in the turbine. Usually it just burns that off quickly this time the winds that day were pretty gusty and it blew raw burning fuel across the deck and canopy. Just scorched her a bit i guess.

The top of the fin has the new OPA Logo and Scotty B said the are making The Jersey Boyz Logo to go in the middle. I love the fact that Geico is flying The OPA/Jersey Boyz Logo's. Thanks Scotty!

The captain has turned on the fasten seat belt signs and the use of portable electronic devices is now prohibited. Enjoy your flight.

I guess no one saw this gallery yet.... :

"Photo Shoot with Miss Gieco, INSIDE & OUT"

Out of respect and consideration for the entire Miss Geico Crew, I elected to lock down the pics of the Fire . I know the entire team does not want to be reminded of what happened or worse, what could of happened.

When are they going to attach the rudder to the tail fin and make it a flying boat wing?

:party-smiley-004:I actually think it may cost them some speed around the bouys...

Ron P 06-04-2010 09:57 PM

I'm sure they'll come well prepared to their home town race next weekend.

We'll see what the rudder does and doesn't do for them.

The fin has a camera on it so at least it's useful in some way
