Air races where really good this year!

Its not the backcountry, but most of them fly in the back country at one time or another.

The F22 Raptor stole the show. The things that airplane can do where unreal to watch!

Flat spins, etc. I think it came real close to the sound barrier on Saturday on one fly by. Its my understanding it shuts down just prior not allowing to do such. Truly amazing!

Its an event all pilots should attend at least once in there lives. This was year 6 for me and I think it was the best yet.

The beer was even cold this year!

Just got back from Reno. Although I didn't go for the races I was there for another reason. Even so we saw a few of the participants fly over that were parked at Reno airport. A couple of B 26's and a B 17. Our hotel was south of Reno. Maybe next year.

Air Races are always a good time. You get your photos figured out?

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Yes... They were most excellent!

For those of you that weren't there, enjoy... Chris

Awesome photos! After seeing those I vow to never ever take my POS camera to the air races, or any other races, ever again! :x In fact this was the best I could do...
