He was something else, that's for sure! You could call him just about any time and he would spend hours on the phone with you into the wee hours of the morning!Quote:

It's a rush to be "topside" with every class on the course, but especially so with "heavy iron" rocketing past...sometimes below you! Miss those days...now in the Tower an with the A/C running, it has me reaching for my jacket once in a while!Quote:

Been awhile since Kent has graced the skies over KRTS...heckuva showman.
His performance was one that I aways made it a point to be in my seat to watch. If I was in a beer line and he was about to start, I left and returned to my seat.
:cool:
No THAT's a testiment...giving up your place in the grog line! Atta boy!:thumbsup:Quote:

I have a video of Art Scholls last drunk farmer act (1985) and not to take away from Kent Art was the BOMB. I love these where we all know it's fake but we see the true skill of the pilot. In my whole flying career I don't like the ground!
Got a light buddy?

Possibly the most exciting finish at RENO ever! The post race interviews were something I'm honored to have been able to pull off! With the help of Curtis Cash (NAG) I was able to give the unofficial results to the pilots and as I found out later, the entire crowd because my interview went on the jumbotron and speaker system... I'd have been scared ****less if I'd have thought about actually being live with that moment... I think I've gotten to do just about everything you can do at Reno as a journalist! Except a lap on the course!Quote:

One of our previous Reno reporters here got the chance to do just this a few years ago (lap around pylons).. there was a story rights issue with the fellow so I'm pretty sure the piece isn't available any longer... looked like a lot of fun though!

It is June 6, I almost forgot this important day "D-Day"
News media too busy glorifying/creating fake news to remind us of such an important day for the world.
Heres some invasion stripes and a big thank you to all who serve

Speaking of D-Day,
2 NAG C130s have been doing approach patterns around Stead airfield for the last 1/2 hour. What a treat, with the afternoon sun and a cold one. A big thank for flying over my house, love it.

I need to buy some more variations myself. They make great stocking stuffers.
Plus I think they are ergonomically correct for my old hands :cool:

If the races happen, you will see him back this year flying Bill Shepherd's Yak 3 (Really beautiful plane.) Race 92 is making headway, but slowly since Dusty spends most of his time dusting. The new exhaust is done, now he's working on a new induction trunk and cowling.Quote:
