Very cool, Joe.  And a good model for FOT as well.  Now I see Henry's reference was to the Horsemen.  Thanks!-

Jay, I have been a member since the 60s.  Very quietly.
Henry’s reference was to the “silent horsemen”. But I knew what he meant. I got a kick out of that. Anyway, we have kind of a model for the FOT. 

It’s good to revisit the concept.

 Joe-  Thanks for the information.  I did not see Henry's email with reference to the Quiet Birdmen.  Was it a recent email?  I have to say I am somewhat embarrassed to never having heard of the QB Club, being that I come from an dedicated aviation family (dad, brother, uncle, 3 nephews, all either fighter, military or airline pilots).  It is a very interesting club, with an amazing roster!  Thanks for sharing.-- Jay De Pol

FOT:
If you read Henry Frye’s comments, which included a reference to “the quiet horsemen”, here is the story:

Very early on, Mordy Dunst and I discussed the image we wanted to present. I likened it to be like The Quiet Birdmen.  Low key, under the radar, while not being exclusive or elitist.

For the most part we have succeeded in being that.

With the Kastner Cup Series, that makes being low key hard to do. But I still like the concept of the “QBs”.  Please read the the Wikipedia definition and history of the QBs. It is entertaining, and you will note, that the QBs have evolved over the years, just as we have.

However, we remain a highly successful “non-organization”.  They said it couldn’t be done.  

So there you have it: we are the QBs of the Triumph Racing World.  Something to be proud of, methinks.
