Westcat,

A while back there used to be 4 F16's in California and they did made good shows at the various events there.

However, since then Kilkenny has switched over to a foiling Moth, Doc Paulson is currently doing a stint in the A-cat class and the third guy has moved to the back of the stage since then and the Mark Thalla sold his Stealth to a guy with catsailor handle Strategary. I think Kilkenny and Paulson sold their boats to new owners in Arizona and Nevada.

This is from memory and I haven't paid to close attention to developments in this are for the last 2 years.

I think it is safe to say however that the western scene (in specific California) must be restarted with respect to F16's. Our first try at this did lose momentum about 3 years ago.

I hope this helps.
