Not the best, but when your in the back yard and Strega flies over your house you shoot with what is close by. :cool:

I really like seeing the flaps at work.

Sledge,

Thanks again for sharing your vintage Reno Air Race shots here, much appreciated by everyone. I am going to buy a slide scanner here real soon so I can digitize my 79-mid 80s slides. I haven't looked at them since the 90s, should have some good stuff to share here as well.

Question...which RWY is the Cat departing from. Unless my eyes deceive me, his heading makes no sense.:dunno:...or perhaps that's the point? I'm only one Gin and Tonic into the evening, BTW...

Gotta say...I like the black and white checkered pattern. Makes perfect sense and is much more appealing to the eye.

Thanks for posting that up!

Owen,

Took off west and then banked over the pits.

"shopped" prop blur is truly an insult to the struggle to get true capture of the moment, camera movement and all..

Not trying to start a fight but a lot of people work REALLY hard doing it the hard way... it makes one wonder about some of the shots that are presented as "original" that have truly hard to achieve blur..

Jusst sayin'

The Thrill of victory.

And 2014, swigging scotch from the bottle that Bob handed me, was something I will remember forever.

I'm not a hard booze drinker to begin with, but at that moment its was awesome :cool:

Do you have the date for these? Must have been early in the week because the go pro is on the wing and the flap hinges are still installed, back before the split flaps mod. Left tank also carries water now instead of fuel. Crazy to see how much has changed in a few years.
