Ok people, here are some not so very good copies of air racers from a long time ago. Have fun identifying them and give a date. They are from Stead. Hope they come through.

Re: Reno Pictures

Late 60's to early 70's. Reminds me of '67. Dick Kestle(Miss Diet Rite Cola), Mike? Carrol (SeaFury) and Mike Loening (#2).

Re: Reno Pictures

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!

Reno 1966.

Dick Kestle's #13 Miss Diet Rite Cola--Cross country racer.

Dave Allender's #19 Wayfarer's Club Lady.

Ben Hall's #2 Esther's Mink (BTW...Esther finally DID get her mink!)

Mike Carroll's #87 Signal Sea Fury (raced by Lyle Shelton).





Sorry. It was just too much......

Re: Reno Pictures

I should have known better, Loening had the cut down canopy in '67.

Re: Reno Pictures

The Mustang in the photo on the left is Sherman Cooper's N5445V. Don't know which year its shot, but I have seen a photo of it earlier at Reno in 1967. As far as I know it only raced in 1971 flown by a Bill Jackson at San Diego and Mojave.

By the way, thanks for sharing!

Well, it must be 1967. I was looking closely at the photo of N5482V and it has a natural metal canopy rail--which may have been what Mike Loening ran on #2 to ferry the plane to and from Reno, even though he raced it with the ugly low-profile THING on it.

And the photo of the Signal Sea Fury looks like a good crowd gathered around it with E.D.'s racer parked behind it...so it could be the trophy presentation for the Harolds Club Transcon, which Mike Carroll won.

The wildcard is that I don't remember Dave Allender's #19 Mustang being there in '67, and I'm SURE it didn't race that year in the pylon races.

Re: Reno Pictures

68, which makes sense, I've carried around photos along time in my cameras.
