Great pics Kevin........ Only us pilots can appreciate the thousands of hours that go into prepping race planes 8) .... Untold commitment for sure #-o ..... Well,,, that "remove before flight" pic probably should have been left on the cutting room floor. [-o< :mrgreen:

Re: Reno Air Race Photos (no crash photos!!)

Thanks for sharing Kevin!

I love the Reno air races. This is for sure one event that's "only in America." As a little lad growing up in Sweden I dreamt of experiencing it. I finally got to attend in 2006 and it was every bit as cool as I thought it would be growing up.

Thanks to all those who invest their money and time into creating this event. =D>

Re: Reno Air Race Photos (no crash photos!!)

Yeah, watch the negatives on the gal--round is good! Soft, comfortable, etc. :)

It's been years since I attended Reno, but it was a lot of fun, and I'd certainly like to go again.

Wonderful photos, have not been there yet, but it's on my short list of things to do!

I wonder if she turned in a claim on that hail damage??
