Well its always fun to think about a full Unlimited field at Reno, so why not speculate now!!
Who is going to attend Reno 2016 (and beyond)...
(No particular order, just as they came to mind)
1. Strega- No reason she wouldn't! She ran great, didn't hurt anything.. Maybe a new pilot in the works...?
2. Voodoo- Steven wants revenge. She's been flying a lot recently it seems, fine tuning in the works to have her ready early?
3. Bear- Oh yea, back and better than ever. Will 2016 put The Bear on top..?
4. Dreadnought
5. Argonaut
6. 924
7. Precious Metal- Hmmm... Signs pointing to no right now, nothing formal documented yet so there is still hope! (2017..?)
8. Czech Mate- I've heard rumors she will be coming back, I have my hopes that is true
9. Sawbones- The team has already confirmed it, look for some new paint and a new nose cone on Bones in 2016
10. Super Corsair- She was supposed to "attend" last year, maybe running the pylons in 2016 with the Sanders boys..?
11. Speedball Alice
12. Lady Jo
13. Grim Reaper- Don't see why Sal wouldn't bring her back, they had a good year!
14. The Rebel
15. Sparky
16. Lylia- Dusty has commented plenty! Can't wait to see her back!
17. Miss Merced- Woelbing has talked about it, is it the year?? Maybe 2017?
18- Furias- Woelbing has some work to do on this one, give it 2 or 3 years
19. Dago Red- ??? Not gonna happen, haven't heard much lately..
20. Ex- Risky Business- She's coming! Full super stocker fashion.
21. 232- ??? Unlikely
22. La Patrona- Hope to see her!
23. Korean War Hero- Tobul had a commitment in 2015 the same week as Reno, he plans on coming back this year!
24. Steadfast- The team has talked about a comeback since early 2015! Can't wait!
25. Polar Bear- Give it 2 or 3 years, Dusty is confident!
26. Yak 11- (Check Dusty's post) Recently acquired by Bob Yancey, 1830 powered
27. Yak 11- (Check Dusty's post) Ira Saligman, 2000 powered, first flight by Steve-o over the Summer!
Now, this is somewhat a list of all of the potential Reno Unlimited racers out there. Besides Wildfire, Tsunami rebuild, Shockwave, etc, I think these are the planes that have come or are most likely to come within the warbird community. Did I miss anything??

Out of 10 tickets, I had a total of 2 numbers.............I don't think I get anything for that
