My thoughts? Blank. I haven't seen it, except for the UAV on the cover. Which article?

I usually visit the Popular Mechanics website rather than buy the mag these days, since their articles tend to be brief and never offer much detail, at least not enough for me. I need more "Meat" (Where's the beef?)!

Sorry Internet keeps cutting out..... It's an article about the tragic accident at Reno this year and about air racing.

Re: Popular mechanics Jan 2012 issue

There are 2 articles on the topic on the website, but they may be older texts :

"How a Small Piece of Metal Caused the Reno Air Race Crash"

http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/aviation/crashes/how-a-small-piece-of-metal-caused-the-reno-air-race-crash-6481596?click=main_sr

Probably not the one you refer to, but just checking. The only other related article on the Pop-Mech site is an older one titled "The Dangerous Legacy of the Reno Air Races" that I certainly did NOT like.
