 | The RBs at lunch in the Sky Rider Café, Avra Valley, AZ. Bob (Videographer), Travis (Right Wing), John (Lead), Mac (Left Wing), and Bryan (Slot).
|
|  | Bill (Narrator) "flying form" in the front seat between Tucson and Phoenix en route to the first show of 2002.
|
|
 | After arrival at Phoenix: Keoki, Mac, Randy, Travis, Jeff and Bill in front of N805RB.
|
|  | Jeff (Narrator) and Bob in front of the stand pipe that in the center of the practice area . . .
|
|
 | And the stand pipe in actual size. This landmark is visible from the airport traffic pattern 11 miles away and makes finding the area quite simple.
|
|  | Jeff and Randy (Ops Manager), being guys. This was out at the practice site in between flights.
|
|
 | Merlyn (Mechanic) on the RB Official Support Vehicle. The speed and ease with which they move Stearmans with this four-wheeler is remarkable.
|
|  | Jim (Mechanic) and the incredible Stearman Support Vehicle. This travelling shop accompanies the team to insure the aircraft are properly maintained.
|
|
 | Todd (Mechanic) inspecting an adjustment to one of the Stearmans. Note the reflection in the stripe that's indicative of the planes' overall condition.
|
|  | Steve, the original RB pilot. He ferried the first aircraft the company purchased in 1978, and has been flying the RB Stearmans ever since.
|
|
 | Jim flew solo displays at air shows in 2002, but moved into the four-ship in 2003 when Bryan got the Lead position of the two-ship.
|
|  | It looks as though Randy is chewing the boys out on video, but he was actually praising them and telling them to enjoy their flying.
|
|
 | Todd, the "new guy" flying shows this year, is doing a very nice two-ship on Bryan's wing. He had lots to learn this year, and took it in stride.
|
|  | Jeff, after his first solo flight as a RB pilot-again. He flew for the team in the late 80s, and expanded his duties this year to include flying in addition to narrating.
|
|
 | The first air show audience of 2003. They were not disappointed as the boys put on their usual fine, boisterous display.
|
| |
 | | The Red Barons in formation. |
