LYLE SHELTON the owner/creator/pilot the the world famous RARE BEAR died this morning at 6:45am :rolleyes:

what he will always be know for is his quest to turn left and fly fast and the BEAR is his creation that he created out of almost nothing and set a propeller piston power speed record of 528.329 mph that still cant be beat to this day

i will always remember that HE ALWAYS HAD TIME TO TALK

i am sorry i can't say any more its hard to type with tears in your eyes :lol:

awww, very sorry to read that

I met him once,,,,,,,wayyyy back in the early 70's at either El Monte or Compton airport,,,,,,he had the white and purple Able Cat back then, I was 13 or so,,,,,he made a joke about "you touch, you polish it",,,,I would have done that all day

he's prolly one of the reasons I "joined up" when I grew up after that

hope there's lots of radials for him now
