  • Quick Question

    I know that no one cares but does anyone know if the Blue Angels or Thunder birds will be there this year.
    Thanks,

    Looks like none of the three military jet teams will be at Reno this year.

        All the performers are just filler for what we all go to the Reno Air RACES for. Unlimiteds! I have a feeling that Dago's run is up. There will be a red airplane in the winners circle though. It's going to be a very exciting gold race and the start of a new championship run.

          They repainted the Bear? When did this happen? Why weren't we updated?

              I care, I've been going to airshows since I was 6 months old and now I'm 42 I still can't get enough. I love flying, but at the top of my list is air racing then warbirds then all the rest of the airshow performers. I will miss the T Birds but thats why I go to other airshows.
              Mabe if were lucky a B-2 or a B-52 will buz through?
              Hey what would it take to get them to fly a B-2 around the pylons one time?
              The Bear in red? lets see blue, green, purple, brown, gold, hay don't think it's ever been red before? when did they do that?
              If all goes well I think there's going to be a dogfight between the top three racers this year, mabe four? how much NOS can you fit in a Yak with a R2800

                Hmmm...

                Top three racers you say? Oh, I'd bet on another turning some scalding hot laps, much to everyone's amazement. Keep your eyes and ears open!

                  Since the military demo teams won't be there, RARA should contact Edwards and get an F-22 and JSF flyby and Planes of Fame should have their N9M invited.

                  A final F14D demo would be a fitting end to the plane's career before it is retired.

                  Yeah, I know there is a war on...but I wanna see some military jet demos!

                        Ummn... last time I looked we still were

                        It's not really been "months" has it? Just last month, less than a month ago, we released the news that John Parker would be racing, an update on the NXT by Bill Pearce, photos of the 4x blader on Rare Bear from PRS and just before..

                        Anyway, the best place to watch for news this year, is going to be this message board. The old nasty mean editor/webmaster, is gonna be a bit distracted over the next few months (more than usual ) so, I'm going to rely (a lot) on guys who are close to the action to put the "stuff" up on the board..

                        Really, most "stuff" that is known, to date, is on this board and in feature stories.. you might have to dig a bit to find it but the who's coming, who's not, who might ect is and has been up and being added to on and off for months... sometimes by those who actually do the wrenching and the flying..

                        Hope that helps and I invite you to register so you can get your messages in view instantly.. it's free, it's easy and it's painless..

                          The Bear has had quite a few different paint schemes over the years.

                          have a look at the old photo gallery, gallery #4
