I'm a casual Reno fan and lurker here, not sure how I missed this thread, but I love all the old pictures. Thanks to everyone who posted. "The...

This sunrise ramp shoot really produced some good images. Hopefully for 2023 I can get a morning shoot setup for every day of the week (or close to...

That boy has been busy ever since I met him 45 years ago, LOL. Please post some more pylon stuff. I'm curious about what worked, what didn't, and...

When I get around to finishing my Jeannie project, I'd really like to build Sumthin' Else next. It's just too good looking to not have a model of.

Thanks for replying Neal! I very much enjoyed the sound, easily the best part I think. The photography was for sure harder than I imagined it...

Hi FlyKidChris ! It is a bit of a trade secret still. I have a basement/ cellar with all the tooling so I will make a bigger model first. At...

Hi Connor. I managed to miss this when you put it up a month ago. Like Bob, I certainly think you should go back this year. What you came up with...

Hi Juke, Always glad to see your posts here. Yes, many threats from Putin, not so many actions other than invading Ukraine. He'd be a fool...

Great shots. Really shows the various wing designs on the F1 shots. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy, Will

Thanks Mark & Wayne. At 90 I also live with a bunch of daily crap but AAFO inputs + a cold beer once in awhile helps.

Hello Jukka -- there were reasons why all subsequent Griffon Mustangs settled on P-51H tails. As originally built the RB-51 had severe problems with...

Any ETA for its appeance at the ramp at the Reno Air Races ? It looks magnificent !

Due to winter this has not advanced into further testing. I cannot attach it into the solid frozen ground here. In the meanwhile I have been...

The Red Baron with a ventral fin ? How did I ever miss that ? Well I was 14 years old back then.

I have always loved this photo of Crocker's Racer in the clouds. I would like to think it's from a practice run, but it may have been during the...

- In 1964 Ed Fisher owned two Mustangs; N6321T which became "Miss Foxy Lady"(N70QF)/"Sumpthin' Else"(N51VC), and N5483V which became the original...

Crappy part, I might have to learn to live with all of it!

Hi Bob... I talked with Wayne this last weekend & he seemed to be doing well given the situation. He didn't want to talk about any health related...

Wayne we need another check-in Hope things are getting better. AAFO needs you.

In referance to John Crockers P51 if you can find the N#" Mustangs Mustangs" probably has its history prior to John owning it. I also understand it...

was there in '76. Was there in '72 (first race) anf got to see the P-39 land, taxi and shut-down. That was it. It was so nice to see it FLY and race...

He was there, but pretty low profile, I think. Over the preceding 12 years his relationship with Reno had been pretty challenging.

As Neal remarks, there were undercurrents at the race in 1976. But Eric, Chris and I were elementary school kids so not really tuned in. The RB...

Remarkably, there was actually a third Cobra in attendance in 1976. This one actually was entered to race, unlike the other two. Lefty qualified #28,...

Both Cobras were a special and unexpected treat -- not that I knew enough about the event to have expectations. I think that's the only P-39 that...
