United States Air Force Technical Sergeant Brandon F. from Abilene, TX sent us this flag that was flown across the skies of Afghanistan on May 11th, 2017 on a combat mission supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel on board a C-130J assigned to the 774 Expeditionary Air Lift Squadron. The mission was an Aeromedical evacuation carrying four wounded out of Afghanistan. Brandon sent us the flag and a certificate signed by the flight crew dedicated to Factory Five Racing. Brandon has a Factory Five Mk4 Roadster on order and will be building it upon his return from deployment.

On behalf of everyone at Factory Five Racing, we want to say thank you and give our deepest thanks to Brandon, his Air Force Unit, and all US military. Brandon’s flag will join others on our walls as a constant reminder of the dedication required to keep us free.

Thank you all at FFR. I cant thank you enough for the feeling of friendship and family that honors all of us serving. The way you all came together, out of your busy day, and did this. Amazing, never thought anything of it. Just wanted to fly a flag for you.

I am pulling all I can to get the funds lined up by the end of this deployment. I think I will be right there. So excited to show this thing off to the guys at my work/Air Force Base.

This car will be a true craftsman build.
I hand built my 450 horsepower 347 engine with EFI. I also hand built a custom T5Z or Ford Performance T5 with the 2.95 alloy gear set and tail housing from a 2000 Ford T5 with electronic speedo. The car will also feature a hand built 8.8 rearend with 3.73, alloy shafts, 5 lug conversion and 13" COBRA PBR brakes. I have been collecting parts for this for over a year. You can see videos and pictures of my build below (see signature).

Thanks again, fam!

Class act, Brandon - we sleep comfortably knowing that men like you stand guard on our behalf.

Best of luck with your build and keep us posted on progress!!! You'll surely enjoy the build process, but driving and sharing it with others will add a whole other dimension.

I have been home from the deployment about a month now. I got the car about 10 days ago and have already made a good amount of progress. I am back at work and its now taking all my time but I am still blown away every time I open the garage door and see my chassis just sitting there. Dave, Tony, Jay, and Dave C., Jolene, and Don at Stewart Transport. Just an amazing crew and team....

Dave, Tony and others. I tried to call you and thank you personally but the little extra that you threw into the shipment literally had me in tears. I wish I could meet you and thank you personally. I am so moved by your generosity and the feeling I get when I realize what you all have done for me, my crew, the recognition, and the way you said thanks. I cant thank you enough, from the bottom of my heart. I am truly blessed to be apart of this community.

I look forward to being a loyal customer, telling everyone I can about your company, and sharing in the dream.

God bless,
Brandon
