Thanks. I'm not sure what I'd caption it as. Could be "remove before flight" as you have suggested, could also be "Reno reflections" or simply "Waiting"Quote:

Really nice work! Airplane porn for sure!
I'm loving this photo share thread. I've got to get you young tech savvy folks to figure out the gallery function that each user is allowed...
I am, for sure, getting too old to deal with coding and "stuff"
:p

If you are looking for a plane in the pic, good luck. There isn't one. This was from the Fenceline, wednesday last year. You really have to admit it can be really beautiful there.
Ok, I'll add an airplane...

Great pics. The 4th picture looks like one of the props is feathered. Did they have to shut one down?Quote:

I was there & from what I heard (How True?) is that all four engines on the Super Snoopy were shot & that Clay Lacy left the plane there.:dunno:
How fast do you want to go kid?

Not a great shot but a great plane to see-
... at the end of the race they made a three-engine flyby, then came around and landed with all four running ...Quote:

To my recollection they flew between cruise and METO the whole way and never put any kind of strain on the engines. It flew back to Van Nuys...and was pretty much parked untouched until they flew it to San Diego 9 months later. After that, it got sold and hauled meat for another 4 or 5 years until it was scrapped in Beruit.Quote:

I miss Thom and both of his broken racers. Talk about a bad luck operation...

There’s a paint job rarely seen anymore. Thanks for posting that one.Quote:

I love how the sound builds at this point.
Hearing them race past the home pylon. It's a sound unique to Reno and has made many a fan.Quote:

The actual reason of the white 'sponsorship' area was to delete the previous registration.Quote:
