Sorry to chime in so late... Tex Johnston was instructed to fly the Dash-80 707 prototype over Lake Washington by senior management to impress an assemblage of aviation folks. He decided to do a barrel roll. When he did the barrel roll, it was over the where the "Gold Cup" hydroplane races were being held. As such, the famous 1955 maneuver became known as the "Gold Cup Roll"... I feel it was amazing he did it without pause as it was a prototype.

So you are a Blue Angel like my boy Jack said! Cool! 
Now I'm getting the picture, Jed. Thanks.
I'm just a WWII aviation buff. My old friend is Mike Machat, who was the official USAF artist for many years. He ended up getting arthritis and couldn't paint anymore, then decided to buy the Wings and Air Power magazines. He tried, but the economics just didn't work out...
I went as his guest to Yeager's 50th anniversary of breaking the sound barrier. Guess what I got???? One of only 47 machmeters Yeager snuck onto his Strike Eagle for his commemorative flight!
Mike also was commissioned by Yeager to paint his only official commemorative painting of the 1947 event. I have that, too...

I'm an idiot!
I checked the horn fuse out yesterday (thanks Leo). Fuse was good. 
I get back in the car and decided to try and toot the horn again, and it worked! Why you ask? I pressed the horn button harder.
Sooo.. since the car was out, I loaded the track tune to check that slight bog issue. This tune has 17 degrees of timing (versus 15 on the street tune).
How's this one feel on the road? Bwahahaha!!!
I like it!!!
