The Good 'Ol Days of the Sport Hangar. Always enjoyed wandering around in there chatting with pilots and crews well into the evening.

Happy to share, as I'm sure you are. I was fortnuate to have a unique perspective for the last 16 years, both as a judge and now in the tower. That said, so many folks on here also have unique perspectives and they really provide some very cool insights into this unique event.
And I have GOT to make it out to Tonopah...that was good stuff!
Owen you better hurry to Tonopah while the buildings are still up as they had another earthquake of 4.9 today.
Oh bummer, I spent one night in the Monti Cristo range last week just hoping to rock & roll, but I felt nothing. Slept better than I do at home.
I felt the 6.5er weeks back and it was, wow mother nature is someone to take seriously.
But the sunset and sunrise were rewarding.
I took some photos there and there was a bit of big quake evidence.
NDOT extended the closure of the Coaldale to Mina 95 till the end of the month.

The look of the old wood also brings back a lot of memories. Up here in the Northwest, wood does not have a chance to achieve that patina before it rots!
If your into to creepy movies you may get a thrill spending a night at the clown motel. :D

Great. I won't watch that more than 200 times unless I have a cold one in my hands. I still have "Tigers" Strega" T-Shirt that he has signed since since 1995.. Includes signature of "Stevo". "Tiger" said OWNER only.
Suspect the replacment will not be as "simple" a machine... ;)Quote:
