Reno Air Races

[Ratters]

Just thought I'd post up a couple pics from Friday and Saturday. Decided to skip today and head home early. A great time though and the F22 is freaking AMAZING. I've never seen so many ooohs and aaahs from jaded warbird people. Seeing the heritage flight with the P38 was cool too. Overall it was a great couple days. Lot's of drama Friday with Dreadnaught breaking and throwing some flame and Rare Bear not being able to put down one of it's landing gear until Steve Hinton coached the guy into a high g turn to pop it loose.

OK, here are some pics.





Hmmmm

They had all three fllying Tiger Cats there. Sadly I missed when they all flew in.


Here's me and the ex next to her dad's plane. It was great spending the weekend with them.


And here's a vid of Sparky taking off in formation:

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Glad nothing happed to Rare Bear. That guy's a classic.

Maybe someday I'll make it out there.
