Sounds like a fairy tale to me

Hi All,
As someone who has been invovled with warbirds for almost 20 years. this is the first time I've heard of this P-82.
In order for this to fly at Reno the pilot has to have gone through a challanging pre-race test. Also there is no FAA record for this ghost plane. In order to race at Reno it has to have a experimental Cert. and the FAA has'nt issue one for a P-82 since the early 50's.
I talked with some of my warbird buds and we all seem to agree its a fairy tale they have'nt even contacted Reno race officials yet.
Besides its hard to hide a P-82 for ten years.
Just my two-cents
