Country:  | Right on! That's our Bearcat, Hellcat and Zero. Did you get a chance to talk to any of those guys. Steve Barber was most likely flying one of those. He typically flies the Zero, but has also flown the other 2. His brother Gary also flies the F6F and the F8F. Great guys.

Country: | Too bad, Steve is a great guy. Sit down with him for a beer and your sides will hurt with laughter. He is one funny guy. One time, after flying the Yak, I asked him if his name was Barberovitch when he flew the yak. He said no, it's Ivan Yakinoff!
